Kathleen Phraner, who is a preschool music teacher at First Baptist Church of Athens, also known as “Ms. Music,” has been hospitalized since Sunday, Sept. 26, due to complications from COVID-19.

She was suffering from dehydration and low oxygen levels.

She was moved to the ICU Tuesday, Sept. 28, and placed on a ventilator.

She is still on a ventilator, but was able to wake up and write down questions as of Monday.
