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.

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.

Holy crap. I know you're helping keep her spirits up, George. It's important for her to have that kind of help, too. Being so sick for so long is mighty hard to go through.

Jeez George. I am so sorry...very generous of you to share the personal account to see this in near real time. No chance that this became bronchitis or that thing people used to get for months after cold or flu that they couldn’t shake? I remember hearing a lot of that pre-Covid but only for the last couple of years.

Heartbreaking. Her spirits seem to be good, but how frustrating. Do you mind if I share some of this information with my D1? I think I have she and her roommate convinced that avoiding the DC Metro is essential, but I'd like her to understand that folks her age can get bad cases.

60 Minutes did a segment on younger people with Covid - not the walk in the park that some have suggested. Worth a watch for younger folks to suggest that even people in superb physical condition can get knocked down - hard, real hard.
Such a weird disease. We still don't know all of what we're dealing with.

Sorry to see she's got a bad case, George. Thanks for sharing that.

Well...crap.
God Bless her, it sounds like it's going to take awhile to get well. What a horrible, crappy disease.
Prayers for her healing and for your family.
