Father in law positive and not doing well…
- Thread starter A2NCtiger
- Start date
Update, he’s already been discharged. No stent or surgery needed. Just medication and orders to get more active and healthier. Lots of praises!
Mine was admitted today. 2nd day of symptoms. Sore throat started it and he got tested with only that symptom. Came on fast
Not sure I’ll try and ask the nurse tomorrow. No change so far as of an hour ago. Better off than a lot but definitely sick enough to need a day or two in the hospital. Hoping the worst is behind him
Hope so too. Hopefully he has a good night and starts feeling better in the AM bruh.
Update: slightly improved this morning if all goes well, discharge tomorrow with quarantine and home breathing treatments with some other meds added it sounds. Still on 3L nasal cannula at this time holding at 96%
Great news, OP! Make sure you stay on him about taking it easy! Too many stories of people thinking they're improved and taking it too far too early.
Make them give high dose IV of vitamin C and D and Zinc. They will resist as it is not the protocol the CDC and NIH has plotted…but clear out a spot and pitch a fit if needed…do this for your Dad.
Yep I told him yesterday to start taking a lot of VIT C and Zinc no matter what the docs put him on
I had covid back in January. I had already been taking Zinc VIT C and VIT D3 for almost a year when I tested positive and that’s what my doctor told me to keep taking. The only thing he added was Famotidine (Pepcid).
My symptoms were bad body aches and fatigue. Never lost sense of taste or smell, never had any fever and didn’t have respiratory issues.
I then got the 1st shot 3 months later and the 2nd shot 28 days later. I’m still taking Zinc, C And D.
Prayers lifted for your FIL.
Matt look at the deaths this surge it’s magnitudes less than the last surge same for icu . Chill
It’s almost like there’s a vaccine that works
Heading home in about an hour. Doing much better, will do breathing treatments at home. Just weak and fatigued right now. Has to quarantine 6 more days they said. Thanks for all the prayers. Wish some people wouldn’t turn this thread political to make it get moved to a different board.
I’m more referring to those with other issues that may have issues getting a hospital bed because they’re filling up with COVID patients. If a hospital is filled up because of Covid and someone comes needs a bed for some other reason not related to Covid, they may have to be turned away.
I have lots of friends who work these hospitals . Much of the problem is the Covid protocols and bed allotments. No monimizing what the docs are going through they are exhausted but most of my friends usually are. Chief of major trauma centers and emergency rooms are getting hammered
Does the analysis stop there for you? It works, so I'm good?
Goodness gracious I'm glad that we have other agencies in place to vet new drugs thoroughly, but I guess a lot of folks out there are wondering why they spend all that extra time evaluating and trying to get data. Heck, if it works, let's shut it down, (i.e. our brains), and move forward, right? 😜
I did Stutsy. No offense intended, but just thought those points were something that folks need to consider.
I hope someone answers those questions, as it might help us all make the best choices and decisions in this complicated situation.
