Relative in hospital with covid pneumonia. Last day of remdesevir use tomorrow and then only dealing with inflammation. High flow O2 70% environment decreased to 40% environment. Has anyone dealt with this before? Please any advice is helpful. This seems like a good sign but would like to know about similar experiences thank you.

I went through this same thing with my brother.
He was in the ICU...had 5 days of remdesivir and they wanted to put him on the vent, but he refused (thankfully).
He was on the high flow oxygen and on the steroid for inflammation.
He has been home now over 3 weeks and doing well. They sent him home with oxygen, but he hasn't needed to use it.
I think it's the remdesivir and vent combination that is the most deadly. As long as he didn't have that, he hopefully will do well once discharged and back home.
Once my brother reached the 40% he was discharged the next day.
Good luck to your relative...hopefully the worst is behind him/her.
Yes, there were comorbidities.
The hospital staff weren't happy with he choosing to not get on the vent.
Him doing well after making this decision shows that the vent wasn't necessary for him to start improving.
Yes!! Amen!
I was in constant prayer during those days.
