A long-haul trucker who fell ill with the H1N1 flu was scheduled to return home Friday afternoon, Oct. 16, for the first time since early August.

George O’Neal, a company driver from Muscatine, IA, contracted the H1N1 (swine flu) in late July or early August, and has spent more than two months in a Denver-area hospital – mostly in a coma.

O’Neal’s family, including sister Jennifer Smith of Indiana, and mother Mary Bernardi of Muscatine, IA, have worked for weeks to fly George home. Because of the help of several other individuals and an anonymous donation to cover the jet fuel bill, George was scheduled to fly home Friday.

O’Neal became a truck driver three years ago when he started working for Wenger Truck Line Inc. of Davenport. He fell ill with a blood infection in July and was at Unity Hospital for about a week before going back to work on Aug. 3.
