Showing Original Post only (View all)Update on BFFs Covid case [View all]
Its a week ago that my best friends only childher sonwas admitted to Chicagos VA hospital. Hes on life support/a ventilator because doctors said his lungs kept filling up with fluid (cytokinesis?).
THREE Covid tests had to be taken. The first two came back negative even though he has textbook symptoms. Only today is his diagnosis confirmed.
Hes been given Trumps drughydroxychloroquine. His kidneys became affected and it was discontinued so are steroids being discontinued. The ventilator has been modulated or adjusted to varied settings which I think is a good thing.
His mom who drove him to the hospital is self quarantined and speaks to doctors multiple times a day. All prayers, positive energy are appreciated.
My intent for sharing is to also warn. Not only dont we have enough tests, but the tests arent reliable. If its taken three tests to diagnose him, who knows whether or when reentry is safe.
