My mother in law who is a vent protocol survivor was on the mend and was killing it on the rehab front (she was up and walking around, getting dressed, the works, almost on the verge of coming home) when she managed to get sick with a stomach bug and was reinfected with aspirational pneumonia yesterday. She's been submitted to ICU with high CO2 levels. Different facility this time and the docs are doing everything to keep her off the ventilator. She's been seeing her CO2 levels drop a bit in the last few hours, but she's got a long haul again. You pedes did it the last time with the power of prayer and I'm asking for help once again.
Thanks!
Love you guys!

This is going to sound stupid but… beet juice. I went home from the hospital after 10 days with COVID pneumonia and pulmonary embolism, was still on oxygen at home and it was hard to walk. My husband got me organic beet juice in a jar from the food store because I wanted it to help with circulation. I drank 1 cup a day by consuming 2 shots 3x a day. Let me tell you my breathing got better immediately and my pulse oxometer readings went from low 90’s with oxygen support to 98-100%. I kept up this protocol for 4 weeks and got off oxygen quicker than the doctors said I would. The days I skipped the juice I regressed! I know this advice sounds crunchy but if it helps your MIL I’m happy to share 🙏
Everything helps! Thank you for the advice. Everyone has been so great with their suggestions. Thank you!
