Jonathan here:
This will be very quick. After almost 17 months of avoiding it, covid has arrived at our home. Elizabeth, Harrison and I have it – I was just diagnosed hours ago at the Spring Hill Vanderbilt walk-in clinic.
However, the important update is regarding April (This all happened yesterday). She developed a 100.4 fever after a night of moderate coughing. Her pulmonologist suggested an immediate trip to the ER for rapid testing and treatment. After a few minutes pf prep and packing, she made the decision that an ambulance would be the wise choice – her oxygen saturation kept dipping in the 70s at rest / light packing.
At the ER she did test positive, and was transferred to the ICU. There she was immediately treated with a biPap. Her blood-gas CO2 was very high. After a few hours, it improved, and since then, she was placed on an Optiflow. She continues to improve, is sitting up and in great spirits.
God is good. And we’re just walking through this moment by moment. Please pray for our family and April. It’s difficult being apart through this. Thank you!
Just noticed today (Sept. 4). Sending all good wishes for a good recovery to all of you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Haven’t checked in a while and am so sorry to read this! Hope things are improving for you all. Please keep us posted. Continued prayers.
I keep you all in my prayers each night, and will continue to do so. Hopefully the recovery for each of you is as smooth as possible. Sending love and hugs!
