I'll take any prayers that can be thrown their way. My mom, who is higher risk seems to be handling it better at the moment, maybe due to her O+ blood type.

The ER doctor recommend my father my father receive the Lilly Antibody Bamlanivimab treatment (not yet approved by the FDA, but can be used for emegency use with authorization as I understand it), but he denied it. I'm trying to talk him into it.

Father will be 72 in March and my mom turns 69 on December 31st.

We were able to talk my dad into getting the Bamlanivimab treatment today. He just finished up and he is on his way home.

My sister is now positive as well.

Sorry to hear that TB, hope things work out well for your family

Praying for a speedy recovery, Trey. Hopefully they are doing well.

My dad had to go back to the ER today and has been admitted to the hospital. His oxygen levels dipped down to 88 making it difficult for him to breath. He has been in the ER room since around 11:30 a.m. A bed finally opened up for him at 10:30 p.m.

They are going to start him on Remdesivir now. I'm waiting on the next update. It is so hard because no one can be with him. My dad has been use to my mom taking care of him for the last 55 years so he doesn't advocate for himself well in these situations.

Sorry to hear this Trey, my prayers are with your family at this time.

Also, continued prayers to those who are caring for those with this virus, it is their abilities and sacrifices that are getting us through this.

How is your mom and sister, TB?

Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 11-19-2020, 09:17 PM:

Thanks for all the prayers. My father is starting to do better. His o2 levels have been around 92 or 93.

My mother seems about the same, but we will take that. My sister was down and out yesterday, but feeling better today.

Fingers crossed. Thanks again for the prayers.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 11-20-2020, 02:12 PM:

Thanks for the update. Good news on dad's O2 levels!

Prayers continuing.

All three status are about the same today. New entrant into the COVID arena though. My 14 year old nephew now has it as well.

I'm late in seeing this. The Rona got me too...I'm glad to hear they are improving. Prayers sent up.

The man who sits beside me in the choir loft at church, before this virus hit, has had the virus and pneumonia and been on a ventilator.

He's home now, but he certainly doesn't need to pass it along to his mom who is in her 80's

Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 11-26-2020, 12:01 PM:

I just want to say thank for all of the prayers.

My dad continues to feel better each day and my mother seems to be mostly symptom free now. My niece is fully recovered as my sister and nephew are feeling better as well.
