What I read was ambiguous. She took him to the hospital...but she could have been in a different car.
And if you noticed..he is young and healthy.
People walk around with no idea they have co morbidity issues until something is found on an incidental imaging scan, or blood work, or something triggers it.
My wife has been keeping in touch with our son Cody (named after BUFFALO Bill, not Wild Bill! oops). He said he is doing better. They have him on the nose tube for oxygen and don’t want him talking (or eating!?) as he needs to breathe through his nose. But he doesn’t know what his oxygen numbers are.
I texted him to be more proactive about that stuff so he/we can make better decisions as things move along. But I guess it is encouraging that he is “just” on the nose tube and not a full face mask. I’m guessing they are giving him IV for nourishment.
My wife is listed as an emergency contact and spoke with the doctor last night. She is an emergency contact for some neighbors and those doctors keep her informed about everything, so hopefully she can open up the lines of communication more.
My wife was outside our son’s open apartment door for a few minutes with a mask on. But he was driven by his girl friend to the ER with my wife following. Had another brief contact from the other side of the car with him while wearing her mask. But - then she and the girlfriend went to an outside restaurant to eat after they had him settled into the ER (they had to stay in the lobby).
My wife said they stayed apart from each other while eating. But she is concerned as the girlfriend had Covid (starting about 11 days ago). She asked the girlfriend to get tested again today and my wife is staying to herself for now. But that might be enough to request the Regeneron antibody infusion so I will have her check with her doctor tomorrow about that.
I’ve said from the beginning how this Covid is so strange how people react to it so differently. I know 90+ year old people that had it and it was minor, and healthy younger people that got it bad. The girlfriend had minor symptoms for 3 days and then no symptoms at all!
Cody does have some minor asthma problems but only needs to use an inhaler sparingly. Hopefully that doesn’t complicate his treatment too much, but it sure doesn’t help. Other than that he runs, lifts weights, etc.
Thanks again for your suggestions and prayers.
