Very sorry to hear this, Larry. Hang in there.

Our thoughts are with both of you, Larry. Hopefully this time she's on the road to recovery.
@Doctor-Phibes: I share these thoughts.

So sorry, Larry. How terrifying.

Sarah seems to be ok, but she is still on oxygen. I finally cried in front of her today, mostly out of a sense of relief, I guess, she was joking with me a little and I couldn't hold it back any more. As pitiful as she looked her only concern was me. "Don't cry, baby. I'll be ok. I'm a fighter." I teased her by telling her she smelled awful (she didnt)..
Before she got sick she weighed 115 pounds. She has lost 20 pounds the last 4 weeks.

Hang in there. It takes four forevers to get over this virus, if you have a bad case.
SIL has been home over a week She's getting incrementally better, but she's still on oxygen and it's a walking marathon to get better, not a sprint.
Be prepared for a longer recovery period than you think, when you bring the wife home. She's going to need a couple of things:
- Spoiling and an understanding of how frustrated she feels as she doesn't bounce back as fast as she wants.
- Tamping her down just a bit, as she feels better and starts wanting to over do. The only setback SIL has had at home, is when she overdid at home a few days ago and it knocked her on her butt for a day.
