My brother, his wife, their son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren all have covid. My brother has started to go down-hill pretty quickly. His wife just left to take him to the ED. I doubt they're let her in with him. Please pray they can get his oxygen levels up.

Well, he’s on his way home. No pneumonia. So scary. I keep hoping each day that he’s made the turn toward recovery. Not yet.
Thanks everyone. :happy94:

Your well-wishes and prayers mean the world to us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! What I don't understand is why people with the diagnosis are only treated symptomatically? No therapeutics. Do you have to be sick enough to be hospitalized to get therapeutics? I'll keep asking until someone can explain that to me!

TAKE ZINC at the first sign of getting anything upper respiratory. I told my brother to start everyone on it last weekend. The hospital finally told him to start it yesterday - and no, I did not say "I told you so".

Chris has his covid test today in preparation for his lymph node biopsy and surgery on Monday. I've prayed diligently for perfect timing and the perfect team to care for him. Interestingly, a company keeps contacting him for job interviews (4 now) and two other companies have told him "We want you in for interviews - I promise to get that scheduled soon!" and still - delays. As you probably can tell - I believe 100% in the power of prayer. It reminds me that God is in control and whatever happens, He'll get me through.

Praying!! My son's girlfriend tested positive and now he's sick. He was tested yesterday and waiting for results. He sent me this link which I found interesting (and I just ordered Vitamin D from Amazon - am going to do Zinc also). https://nypost.com/2020/10/27/study-fin ... deficient/

Vitamin D is highly underrated. It’s crucial to our well-being.
10 -15 minutes a day with as much of your upper body exposed to the sun around noon will do wonders for your health & well-being.

Kathy, I hope they both recover quickly.

My brother and is wife are no better today but not worse.

My brother is worse today. Oxygen level dropped all night. Up slightly after a breathing treatment this morning. I’m afraid he’s going to end up in a ventilator today. :cry:
He’s refusing to go to the ED. His wife knows when to call EMS.
