Vanity - Prayer Request For Son with Covid
self | 9/5/2012 | Self

Posted on 09/05/2021 7:34:16 PM PDT by 21twelve

26-year old son taken to ER with Covid - please pray for him. Healthy, fit conservative Christian. Got Covid last Saturday and confirmed on Monday. He lives nearby and he said he was doing okay.

Checked in on him mid-week with some food and talked with him through the window and said he was about the same. He tried to take the ivermectin and other vitamins that I gave him on Saturday but he couldn't keep them down. Dropped by this morning with some more stuff and said he was a little worse but he would be okay. I asked him if he wanted to come home with us so we could take care of him and he said "maybe later this week if I don't get better".

His girlfriend (recovered quickly from the same bout of Covid) went over later and into his apartment and said his lips were blue. My wife ran over with an oxygen meter and it said 78%!! Hopefully it was wrong, but I don't know. They took him to the ER and he walked in. They started giving him oxygen and now waiting on xrays. I'm heading down there shortly.

Anyway - very scary. But we know that he loves the Lord so that is a real help. But please pray for his strength and the wisdom of his doctors and our son and us as we may need to make decisions that will be difficult.

So praying for your son! And you to keep healthy!

It is good he got there on his own power. The O2 thing sounds of concern but that could be pneumonia? Which is the usual biggest danger from these Viruses but also can be treated.

I pray he will get better, and trust in Jesus.

Ensure you all are able to contact the medical people. It is one of the most infuriating things about this virus response is how advocates are not allowed….not allowing comfort, and vigilance over their condition, and speaking up for them. Make sure you are on the phone with them AMAP. Demand it.

"Do not use the liquid version. Only use the paste since it is in the same dosage as the pill form."

If oral is not an option, then topical will work. People and horses/cattle use the same dosage per pound of patient. (A 100-lb cow and a 100-lb person use the same dose.) That dosing is for prevention. For an active case, the preventive dose is doubled or tripled and is taken daily.

Topical ivermectin is often prescribed for people for parasites and skin issues.

I think people say to get the paste instead of the liquid since that is what people are familiar with, and the instructions are easy. For an active case, I would prefer the topical liquid over the paste, since I would not want the large amounts of the inactive paste ingredients.

Thanks. I didn’t know there was an SpO2 low cut-off.

Good to know.

It pays for everyone to have a Pulse Oximeter to keep track of your SpO2 levels and take prompt action if levels are going down.

I’ve got sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine. Out of curiosity, I started using a recording Pulse Oximeter when I sleep. It’s a small ring you wear on your index finger. Now I’ve got a year’s worth of data which provides me a good baseline.
