I’m a Covid nurse. Sounds accurate to me. We see people like her with all her variables. Lungs close up, inflammation like if you shut your thumb in the door, swelling, it just doesn’t go down if you take ibuprofen or another Med, it takes time.

People with chronic lung failure and double transplants have blood oxygen around 90 percent, when it gets in the 80s they are dying.

Her lungs have no open spaces, it’s wall to wall inflammation.

At that point you have to wait for the swelling to go down. It’s no longer the virus, like your thumb is no longer between the door jams.

The reason it swelled is gone, now you have to wait for the swelling (inflammation) to go away.

No meds really make swelling go away. Just like in hives. Or a black eye. Ice may reduce a little bit but that swollen eye will go down with time. You could add a bunch of steroids, but it still takes days or weeks.

In my hospital we ask very nicely if they want remdesivir and nurses aren’t supposed to bring it in unless they ask the patient each time.

We also allow patients to bring their ivermectin in as long as they keep it to themselves. We let them take it. Often they’ve been on it for weeks and come in with lungs closed up.

Hope that helps you understand how swelling/inflammation works.

Good luck and god bless. I will pray for you!

No meds really make swelling go away. Just like in hives. Your lungs are like a big hive, with inflammation. It takes time. You could add a bunch of steroids, but it still takes days or weeks.
