just got a call from the nursing home- mom's positive

[TalenaGor]

They've had a major outbreak in The nursing home.... They had been doing really well with only a couple of cases all year long but apparently it's gotten out of control in there now...

They moved her into quarantine as of now she's feeling really tired and has a low-grade fever....

Of course I can't see her and as of right now I can't even talk to her but I'm working on that.....

This sucks

[Bettie]

1. I'm sorry

that has to be hard. Hope she recovers and you can speak to her soon.

[barbtries]

14. i'm so sorry to hear this.

this fucking virus.

nursing homes it seems have been left behind. are they following protocols, can they keep people on staff, do they have and use the proper PPE?

I hope she has a mild case, recovers completely, and that you get a way to see and talk to her soon.

[TalenaGor]

40. thank you yes they have been doing a stellar job all year long

they would call everyone periodically and let them know the status .... Whether there were any cases, precautions they were taking...They had only had a couple of cases all this time and they quickly moved them to a quarantine area..... But there is apparently a sudden outbreak and several people have it now 😱

[sinkingfeeling]

15. I'm extremely sorry.

[TexasBushwhacker]

25. It does suck

It's usually a worker bringing it in from outside rather than transmission among the residents. I'm sorry.

Strength to both of you and the staff caring for your mom.

[AllyCat]

27. I'm sorry. We have had the luxury of keeping my mom at home

For now. Cannot imagine what it will be like when we have to move her. I hope you can find a way to visit soon and that your mother recovers well.

[malaise]

28. So sorry for you

It did not have to be this way

[SunSeeker]

29. Sending good vibes to you and your mom.

[debsy]

30. I empathize

I am so sorry any of us have to go through this.

My 90-year old father was diagnosed with COVID on 11/16 (tested on 11/12). He had been under hospice care for a few months for extreme weight loss but seemed to be getting better. He fell on 11/18. The EMTs said he had hypoxia (oxygen level was under 90%) which is likely why he fell. He wound up in the hospital in a lot of pain. Since he was already a hospice patient, was inoperable due to many factors (not the least of which was his age), and he did not want any extraordinary measures taken, he was given palliative care to keep him comfortable. We FaceTimed and spoke to him on the phone but that is so impersonal. He died without any of us there to comfort him in the full COVID unit of the hospital on Wednesday.

Try and make sure your mom doesn't try and walk or at least has someone with her if she does. Hopefully, she will recover from the COVID. She might not recover from a related fall.

Best wishes for her full, safe recovery.

31. This is my nightmare... So sorry you're dealing with it. Holding you in the Light for strength. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

32. Wishing You The Best TG

My BiL is in an assisted living place here in town.
They've had several cases, but very spread out over time, and more staff than residents.
Let's hope for the best.

[rustysgurl]

33. I'm sorry to hear this.

Praying for you and your Mom, and hoping she pulls through with very few symptoms.

[pnwest]

34. I got that call, it's an awful feeling. Prayers for your mother's full and

speedy recovery. My heart goes out to you.

[KentuckyWoman]

35. I hope it stays a mild version.

[FailureToCommunicate]

36. Oh man, that sucks. So so sorry. The same thing recently happened to by older brother. No way to

visit or "be there" for him.

Covid sucks

Trump sucks

Republicans suck

[angstlessk]

37. I hope she recovers, ain't nothing like a mom. n/t

[lunatica]

38. Hugs to you and your family.

This is so tough!

[Wellstone ruled]

39. So sorry to hear that.

Spouse just minutes ago received a text from her BIL's Nursing Home contact person,saying they are notifying all the residents contact people as to five new positive cases today and that four staff people are in quarantine. This whole damn mess could have been avoided had each and everyone wore a mask both in the facility as well as outside. Mentioned this before,two to the staff never wore a mask within the community at all. In fact,both said it was a hoax.

[Jarqui]

41. Had a dear 82 yr old friend

with other health issues that made her high risk in that situation a few weeks ago.

She pulled through.

Hang in there.

All the best.

[denvine]

42. I'm so sorry! That really sucks!

Sending positive thoughts that your mother has a quick recovery with no lasting effects! I hope you get to talk to her soon.

[BigmanPigman]

43. It more than sucks!!!

[mahina]

45. Very sorry to hear this.

Hope she pulls through o.k.

[cheezmaka]

47. Sorry to hear about your mom

I'll be praying for a speedy recovery...

48. Sending her a prayer... And now you can't see her. This is flat pathetic...

[niyad]

49. I am so sorry to hear this. It does indeed suck. Hoping for a mild case and quick recovery. Your

DU family is here for you. I

[marble falls]

50. That's got to be hard to take. I am so sorry you and she have to go through this.

[TigressDem]

51. Yikes. So sorry to hear that.

Hugs

[leighbythesea2]

52. Keep us posted please

It's such a worrisome situation--am glad you deem her tough tho.
My friends dad had @ age 80 an came thru fine, so everyone reacts so differently. Hang in there.

[Nevilledog]

53. ...

[BobTheSubgenius]

54. That truly does suck.

All my very best wishes to you, your mom, and whoever else there is. I'm very sorry.

[live love laugh]

55. I'm sorry 😣 ❤️

[Heartstrings]

56. Yes, it does suck!

Sad thing is, it didn’t have to be this way....

Healing vibes sent for your mom.

[area51]

57. I'm sorry.

[calimary]

58. Aw, TalenaGor - I'm sorry about your unhappy news.

Damn.

It didn't have to be this way. I hope you can at least see each other through the window, or something. Even that little bit of a reach-out might cheer her.

So much about this DID. NOT. HAVE. TO. HAPPEN.

[sdfernando]

59. I'm so sorry!

Hope she makes a full recovery and doesn’t get too sick.

My Dad is in a home as well. He turned 93 in August. That was the last time I’ve been able to see him. I worry so much but the home is doing a great job!

[ZERTErYNOthe]

60. Sincere sympathy

I haven't seen my family since Mid-March, when I moved my father in to assisted living. My father was diagnosed with Covid-19 a few weeks ago and hospitalized, but thankfully never needed supplemental oxygen. He has since been moved to a nursing/rehab unit, and is doing well. At first, after moving there, he didn't remember much - his children, his wife (he spent 60+ years with her). I think it was Covid fog. Two weeks later he is much better and remembers us. His younger brother, not so much. He was diagnosed after my dad, was doing well, and within 12 hours was dead. Had a Vimeo memorial service.

They were both in a really great organization, one that has also been controlling things very well, and still are, but have a few cases, which happened to impact us personally.

Sorry for making this about me, but my intention is to let you know that others have gone though this and empathize with you. I truly do, and send my love your way. While there is loss (like my uncle) there is also hope (like my father).

Please keep us up to date, and know that more people than you know are sending love and prayers your way.

[TalenaGor]

61. UPDATE- as of now she is symptom free but still positive

[malaise]

62. Sending good vibes

[TrishaJ]

63. So sorry for your loss...
