It's been a month and still trouble with smell? Wow.

[LuFins Dad]

Glad things are trending in the right direction!

My friend was 4 months without smell and taste but it came back really fast at the end and is normal now. Great news and tracks what I’ve seen...but the trough for your daughter was about a week longer.

@George-K How is your daughter doing?

Meh...still coughing. Still no sense of taste - well, everything tastes sour or salty. Fatigue is getting better.

Glad to hear, George!

Taste and smell will come back but the length of time it takes is very scary.

[brenda]

Such a long road to feeling back to normal with this. I'm glad she's doing this well, and she's taking it in stride.

[Klaus]

I'm so glad she's doing better. Taste is secondary.

[Catseye3]

Very sorry, I accidentally responded to the wrong exchange. Wishing for better times.

@George-K , hope recovers well. What's your take on the two consecutive negative tests? Do we still suspect COVID-19 or has that been ruled out?

It's a long recovery for some people. Rejoice that she's over the hump and steadily (if slowly) getting better.

Have her take really good care of herself. Flu season has started down here...

What is the likelihood that she's still infectious?

We had a bit of a scare this weekend. On Sunday morning, she found that she was, for no apparent reason, "grunting" to get her breaths out. She called, and every third word was punctuated by an abdominal grunt.

It started after she made the bed and did dishes, and lasted the entire day. No desaturation, just like prolonged hiccups that would not stop. She took some benadryl which seemed to help, and there was just a little of that yesterday. This morning, just upon waking up and showering.

Fatigue is better, and finally, last night, was awake for only 10 minutes because of coughing.

This Friday, it'll be a month and a half.

[jon-nyc]

Wow. Terrible, George.

[kluurs]

I do hope she has super powers... Scary that she's still struggling so much - but glad she's able to get to sleep faster. Hope this is the last scare.

[Mik]

looks like incremental improvement.
