My father is home from the hospital, by the grace of God, after being admitted for ARDS from COVID.
He was never put on a ventilator, by God’s grace. They still put him on Olumiant, which wasn’t great, but he’s home. He needed oxygen support; they didn’t send him home with any. His sats are still not normal, but they aren’t in the 80s anymore. Also gave him dexamethasone while he was there.
While he was in there they also gave him zinc, melatonin, vitamin c, vitamin d—the works.
He is still in terrible shape. He still has trouble eating and drinking. He has terrible nausea. We have to help him shower, and go to the bathroom.
They gave him methylprednisolone and famotidine to take at home. They didn’t give him an inhaler despite giving him one in the hospital.
So, to everyone on here spouting memes about the survival rate of COVID like those of us who are suffering serious consequences from getting the damn China virus are morons, I ask you to reconsider.
Yes, I know masks do nothing. But they put my father basically on the Zelenko protocol, and I finally convinced him to take ivermectin twice before he got admitted, and he still got screwed over. We tried to contact AFLDS and FLCCC for treatment; neither provider nor pharmacy got back to us before he was bad.
Masks may not work, and the vaccines may be problematic, but I’m currently hoping my dad doesn’t have lasting consequences of this damn thing. So please, consider showing some respect for those of us terrified our loved ones will not be okay for a long time after being COVID positive.
Maybe omicron will finally end this since it’s milder. I hope to God it does.
I am so sorry. I went through this with my husband.
Hubby is now fully recovered.
Here's what we did, which worked.
~Buy a pulse ox finger device and check his numbers often. If his oxygen saturation is not staying above 90, he must be on oxygen or go back in the hospital.
~If below 90 or borderline, order some home-delivered concentrated oxygen. Most insurances cover it. It cost us $15 a month and was delivered the day we ordered it. They bring the machine and adjust it to the amount of oxygen he needs. The cannula and tubing provided should allow a 50-ft walking radius. He might only need it for a couple of weeks.
~Have him sleep or rest in a prone position. That will help his heart and lungs. If he can't sleep mostly face down, have him lay on his side.
~Make sure he takes a baby aspirin every day until further notice. This helps reduce inflammation and helps ward off the micro clots.
~Start him on the full FLCCC protocol - Ivermectin @ double dose daily for 5 days, and all the vitamins on the list every day until further notice. Then Ivermectin at single dose 1x week, thereafter.
~Make him get a little sun to stimulate D3 production.
~Consider having a mobile nurse come to your home to administer IV infusion therapy. Insurance usually will cover. If not, it will run about $300.00 Ask for the 'Meyers Cocktail' and the NAD+ vitamin therapy. These are potent anti-oxidants, immune boosters and vitamins.
~Of course, make sure he eats healthy foods and drinks enough clean water.
Good luck!
