Eickmanns feeling well again after COVID-19

The Eickmanns are continuing to enjoy fresh air and exercise with their new puppy, Ebony, after recovering from illness.

About two weeks ago, Campion faculty members, Steve and Wendy Eickmann, began to feel run-down with headaches and fatigue.  When their daughter Kelby began to show similar symptoms, she went to a testing center and was surprised to find out she was positive for COVID-19.  They had already been following social distancing guidelines as much as possible, but after the results, they went into a stricter form of self-quarantine for the next two weeks.

While each member of the family showed varying symptoms, all of them seemed to only have had mild cases. Throughout this time, they continued working from home, both teaching and attending their online classes. After about a week of symptoms, they began feeling better and are now back to their normal healthy selves.

Wendy Eickmann says that she most worried about the possibility that she could have unknowingly passed the virus to someone else before she started feeling sick. “I like to manage things, but in this situation, I realized there was absolutely nothing I could do but recognize that God is in control. God is on His throne and He is sovereign,” she reflected. “Knowing that we have our Creator taking care of us brought us peace.”

We are thankful for God’s healing hand as the Eickmanns and others in our Campion community have quickly recovered from illness.  Our Campion staff continues to pray especially for our students and their families that may be affected by the virus.
