RIO GIARDINIERI: On Friday, it felt like, to me, and again, I'm not a doctor, but I know what I feel. And it felt like I was at my last day. I was gasping for air, probably had a bit of anxiety, and made some phone calls to some friends and family saying my goodbyes in my own way. Through that, some friends in the Keys, you know, they wanted to cheer me up and started a line with a lot of our friends to give me well wishes and prayers. And through that chain, another dear friend of mine reached out and sent me a text and said here, you have to try this drug. I had never heard of it, was not aware of it.

And basically, you know, it wasn't something that he could prescribe, but they did put me in touch with an infectious disease doctor. And we spoke and he said he knew the drug I was talking about. They were looking at it. But at this point he couldn't advise it because it wasn't a tested product. It wasn't -- hadn't gone through trials. But, for me I was willing to try anything at that point.

So, for me, this was the answer. And I think it can be an answer for a lot of people.

EARHARDT: Well, it has been a miracle drug for you. God bless you. He has big plans for your life. What a great story. What a miracle.
