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.
Thanks for this.
I haven’t cried this often in years; everything is very confusing and concerning right now.
Hope you & yours don’t have to experience this whatsoever.
You are welcome more than words can convey.
Now you've got him home for recovery, you know what to do.
LOTS of home cooking, broth brewing, and even just good old glasses of water with a lime or lemon squeezed into for the daily vitamin C.
Use it as an opportunity to reconnect with the wells of life that the modern world tries so hard to tempt us out of.
God bless.
Make lots of sandwiches using red onions. Red onion is the number one source of dietary quercetin, which is a major killer of coronaviruses.
Capers are also jam-packed with quercetin. Not so nice in a sandwich, but chuck them in lasagnes, other pasta dishes etc.
