    I think and hope that she will be ok. I'm sorry your family is going through this George.

    Education is extremely important.

      So sorry for this. I'm thinking of you both with concern.

        Yikes man... sorry to hear this. Prayers from me won’t do anything, but will be sending as many good vibes across the ocean as I can.

              Wow, that still sounds tough, but stable at least. Please keep us posted, George. Hopefully things will improve soon.

              I was only joking

                  During my SIL's recovery, her cardiologist (remember, she had a PE and an anterior MI in the hospital) had her walk just a bit during the day, as soon as she was able. Very little at first, and always with someone with her.

                  At first, just across the house a few times a day. Later down the driveway to the street and back. In a month or so, she made it down the street, to the end of the block and back. As time went on, she did some treadmill work along with increasing her walking distances.

                  Now, she's back nursing, but it took months. Recovery was a slow go.

                  Most healthy people are used to bouncing back quickly from a bad cold or the flu. COVID doesn't always let patients do that. I have faith D2 will eventually be well, but I'm afraid she'll have to have patience. I also know it must be of great comfort to her, to have somebody to turn to that can help her navigate the medical process.

                  May God restore her health and heal her. I pray that it be quick and complete, so that she can get back to normal life with her family and the people who love her.

                      Wow, George, what she describes sounds so familiar to me.

                      Jolly's point about patience couldn't be more accurate. I'm sure she will get through all this, but it will be frustratingly slow for her to experience, and for you to watch. This is one of the hardest things about being a parent.

                      She needs to give herself lots of time to heal and rest. I hope she can nap whenever she needs it. I understand her expectations for recovering faster, but it will happen on its own schedule.

                      Here's a tip that you can decide whether you think she can handle. After the first couple weeks, which is where she is now, I found that a little bourbon or brandy actually helped. I think it helped relax the chest muscles that get so tight and sore from all the coughing. Note that I said just a little, and I had it in the evening an hour or two before bedtime. Maybe it was just because I wanted to think it helped, but I was in the 'whatever it takes' mode by that time.

                      You can decide whether you think that would be a good suggestion for her. I doubt it would hurt, as long as it's just a small amount.

                        The two people I knew where 100% bed ridden for two weeks with similar symptoms and then got up. There was a turning of the corner involved and that is what is not clear from the text but to cheer you up it does not seem to be getting worse!

                          I know a preacher who had very similar symptoms. He's an avid vegetable gardener and I've had several conversations with him about growing different things. It drove him absolutely nuts, looking out the window, unable to do away with the last of the summer stuff and get his fall garden in...He couldn't run his tiller, he couldn't even use his hand tools to plant his raised beds.

                          He couldn't make it to his church, to even deliver a sermon. Even three weeks after the lethargy started.

                          As he recovered, he eventually got to the point he could walk out in the yard and supervise his grown boys, as they worked and planted his raised beds. He's about two months down the line and I talked with him last week...He's picking a few mustard greens out of his beds and eyeing where he'll plant sugar peas in the garden. Last week, he preached a weekend revival, three sermons in three days.

                          He says he's not quite back to 100%, but he's a lot better. Patience, patience, patience.

                                There you go! If it makes her feel even a little bit better, it's worth doing. If it's even just a little bit of a pleasant distraction from being sick, it's worth it! 😁

                                  I've avoided commenting in this thread for 2 reasons - I think highly of George and his family and this is hitting me a bit hard, and 2, it's bringing back memories of the sheer terror I felt watching my wife go through this. Sarah came very close to dying from pneumonia twice during her bout with this virus. George, tell her I'm praying for her, Sarah is praying for her, and to watch out for the pneumonia thing.

Sarah came very close to dying from pneumonia twice during her bout with this virus. George, tell her I'm praying for her, Sarah is praying for her, and to watch out for the pneumonia thing.

                                        Speaking of, how is the wife doing nowadays?

                                        I've avoided commenting in this thread for 2 reasons - I think highly of George and his family, and 2, it's bringing back memories of the sheer terror I felt watching my wife go through this. Sarah came very close to dying from pneumonia twice during her bout with this virus. George, tell her I'm praying for her, Sarah is praying for her, and to watch out for the pneumonia thing.

                                        She's doing well. She's having to take antibiotics right now because she developed a fever some days ago, and it seems she may have a touch of pneumonia coming back, but so far so good. She's asthmatic, so her lungs aren't all that strong to start with.

                                          There you go! If it makes her feel even a little bit better, it's worth doing. If it's even just a little bit of a pleasant distraction from being sick, it's worth it! 😁

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
