I was in the ICU for 10 days with Delta 4 weeks ago. Pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, and lactic acidosis. I’m also pregnant. When they admitted me they said I’d do a 5-day round of remdesivir (almost went on ventilator but I was able to avoid it), and I immediately said ‘but doesn’t that cause organ failure?’ The doctor looked at me confused and said, ‘absolutely not.’ And I said well please monitor my organ function daily and he said yes we do that automatically. I had blood drawn every morning around 4-6am if I was awake. Made a complete recovery faster than the doctors said. My lungs were 90% clots and my blood oxygen was fluctuating between 22-40% when I was admitted. Me and Baby were lucky! As of this week I’m off the home oxygen.
Actually they almost vented me but as soon as I got on the oxygen mask I went back up to 97%. The doc said he’s never seen anything like that. Also they do not vent when you’re below 90% that’s just stupid. I’m recovering at home on oxygen and my directions are to use oxygen when I hit the high 80’s as a precaution for Baby. I only hit the high 80’s when climbing the stairs anymore but that’s quickly improving as well.
Jesus. I love this community and was sharing everything from my discharge papers. But wtf?? I’m dumbfounded by these responses. The doctors didn’t believe the numbers either because I was conscious and they just kept saying me and the baby were so lucky.
Yeah the doctors didn’t understand how I was still conscious. My husband wheeled me into the ER because I couldn’t walk. Check my post history. I’m always on here except I took a break during my recovery the past 6 weeks. I talk about being pregnant and of course am based… and unvaxxed!
It was actually miraculous. The doctors and nurses couldn’t understand it. My husband did do the talking in the ER and I had to be wheeled in.
Even now I get 2 visits a week from a home nurse and they are dumbfounded that my lungs sound clear. But anyway, if I wasn’t denied early treatment from my OB with what the queen is getting then I could have avoided all this. It’s criminal.
My husband did the talking when we first arrived but it was weird… COVID is sneaky. I wasn’t even sure if I should go the ER earlier that night but I regressed really quickly. And yes when the hematologist looked at my CT scan of my lungs he just quietly said, “Wow”. Scary moment.
That’s an awfully detailed lie I made up then. Check my post history- what would be the point?? I agree with everything else on this site and have been on T_D since 2015.
What happened to standards of care? She's supposed to get remdesivir and a ventilator!

Glad your doing well and also I don’t believe a word you said Ariel.
Exactly. They vent when you go below 90%. You'd be dead at 22%. Permanent brain damage at least. Maybe that's what happened Ariel?
Kek
Just telling you what the nurse told me. She said at one point I hit 22%. She was helping me change so I wasn’t on oxygen yet.
Actually they almost vented me but as soon as I got on the oxygen mask I went back up to 97%. The doc said he’s never seen anything like that.

Hah, this is my favorite comments. Well wishes combined with disbelief for the initial statement. Well said
I concur.
By the time I was halfway through Ariel's post, I'm like, nope, never happened. But also happy she's doing well.

That sounds...miraculous. 90% clots and 22-30% POX while pregnant. How were you even able to communicate coherently?

Glad you're doing better. Sorry so many people are here are giving you a hard time. We're skeptics by nature around here.

Aaaannddd....... we're sliding....
Liars lie. Its what they do.

honey learn to accept the well wishes and move on.
Most lies are detailed. That's how you can tell it's a lie.
This is why I avoided this board, which I used to visit every day, during my hospitalization. Check my post history…. I was always on here.
