\"He was put on a whole bunch of, kind of preemptively, he was put on anti-virals and things,\" Mikhaila Peterson said.<\/p>\n
\"I don't know if that was necessary, because his symptoms weren't that bad -- he didn't have a cough, he had a mild fever, but they just put him on everything.<\/p>\n
Mikhaila also said her father is suffering from pneumonia, the second time this year he has fought the illness.<\/p>\n
\"And so now we've had a step back in his recovery. Life is just not good, things are not good right now,\" she said.<\/p>\n
\"He'll get better, but he's definitely taken a step back and it's just really unfortunate... it's been a disaster.\"<\/p>\n
