 Topic: Guess it's my turn. Prayers please
Posted: 28 Nov 2020 at 4:46pm |
|
Dad's got covid. He ran a slight fever yesterday and was having a little trouble getting his breath. This morning he couldn't make it to the bathroom without running out of air. He's on oxygen for COPD which I'm sure won't help things. Also has RA which affects his lungs when he gets short of breath. Usually winds up with bronchitis after getting short of breath that way due to the way the RA affects his lungs. Anyway, mama said he's getting antibiotics through IV and sounds better than he did this morning. She said he's asking for clean underwear and his tablet so I'd say that's a pretty good sign. Y'all just keep him and us in your thoughts and prayers please

Prayers sent, friend of mine had it, 63, very healthy, said he couldn't get from his chair to the bathroom without stopping to catch his breath, it's the signature of this flu.

Thanks everybody. Mama says they told her he'll be there at least 3 to 5 days possibly longer depending on how things go. Good news is we were with him Thursday and, so far, everybody in our house feels fine. My brother, his son, and his girlfriend also seem to be ok and Mama too. Mama had it in the spring and faired very well but she doesn't have any of the health problems dad does.

Good news on dad. They decreased his oxygen level from 6 to 4.5 so he's breathing more on his own.
New problem now is Cora is running a fever. Of course she's a kid and a kid looking the wrong way can cause a fever but either way y'all keep it up. I think we're going to treat the fever and give it an hour or so and see what happens. Hopefully it'll be gone and that be the end of it.

Prayers on the way. For everybody reading this, read up on the extra vitamins and minerals protocol that many experts are encouraging to help ward off, and lessen the severity of this virus.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Thanks Joe and everybody else. She's running a fever again but no sniffles, coughs, sneezes, difficulty breathing, and she said breakfast was good and she smelled dog crap so I'd say those are encouraging signs that it's hopefully not covid. We figure since we're already quarantining due to being around dad then they'd probably just say treat the symptoms. I'm thinking we're going to wait it out unless something else comes up or she gets worse

Adding my prayers to the others for your family. Good to hear your father is already improving. Very mixed feelings if it is worth having your daughter tested. No common sense the way statistics are being added up with this. Just used to make us think it is worse than ever.
Been thinking about this "crop" of flue bugs compared to other times. Back in the winter of 68-69 there was a worse than normal flu bug here, that was called Hong Cong strain. So just being a teen I don't remember if anybody in family had it. But it did take some of the old people. The one tractor mechanic had breathing trouble ever after, he would of been about 50 or so. Another that had run the rural coop telephone line ( Bell had bought the local a few years before) stopped working on high up things or in closed spaces after too. And always blamed the Hong Cong flu. Both had been in farm dust and smoked and other things that doc's all say are bad for breathing now. But did impact their life's for 30 or so years they lived after the "bug".
So all that are the most at risk take extra precautions. The rest of us need to pray we are part of the 99.9% that recover.

Good news. As of right now Cora's fever is gone. Just checked and she's 97.4 and sound asleep. Last fever she had was about 1:30am and we gave her 4hr Tylenol which usually only lasts about 3 hours so it's down on its own. Fingers crossed

Well.... Fever came back but never got high. She hung in for about 2 hours of school (digital learning, we didn't send her to school) but that was about all she could handle. Took a nap and seems a little more like Cora but still a little sluggish.

Dad doesn't seem to be doing so hot. He can't get up and get to the bathroom without running out of breath. They have him using a urinal from the bed and he says he can't do that without getting winded. They were supposed to do another lung scan but I haven't heard anything from it yet. They say it gets worse before it gets better so we're praying this is the worse and tomorrow will be better. On a positive note, Cora seems like Cora again. No fever today.
