He beat COVID-19 after a 14-day struggle. Now, his wife may be infected.

Ryan Kellinghaus, a vice principal at Jones Middle School in Boone County, spent two weeks of late March quarantined in his bedroom with COVID-19.

He lost 15 pounds in 10 days, and his fever ran between 100-102 degrees Fahrenheit for weeks afterward.

His wife, DJ Kellinghaus, served him tea, and kept him on a regiment of cold showers and ice-water baths to fight the fevers.

Now, as he recovers, the family worries that DJ has begun to develop symptoms. She was tested shortly before the family sat down for a Zoom interview with WCPO on Saturday afternoon.
