But at 5 a.m., the team doctor called Granato to ask if he could get back to the hospital. So at 6 a.m., Granato is back at the hospital and now is being admitted as an in-patient.

“From there it just accelerated,” Granato said.
The bacteria had made its way into Granato’s bloodstream, “and the pneumonia took over my lungs and I basically had respiratory failure later that day,” the 52-year-old said.
