If oxygen level ok they will likely not admit him. He needs steroids and monoclonal antibodies. You can call the infusion center and see if they have a doc they work with But either way he needs care - the ER may be your inky choice

we have been thru hell today- after getting approved for the antibody therapy spouse and I were told Thursday. The infusion center then called and said if we wanted to get today to go to emergency. So we go to emergency and they say they will do it. We go back and they do a bunch of tests and because as soo as we got there they automatically put us on oxygen (my oxygen levels ranging between 92 to 94) spouse was 90. The doctor then comes in and says no according to FDA they cannot give it because we have hypoxia and would have had to be 95. THIS IS WHAT I’M DEALING WITH.

They then determined we needed to be admitted but no therapy. I ended up having pneumonia. We decided to check out against their desires and we are trying to still do the appt for therapy tomorrow. Please please pray we are successful...
