I’m so sorry leahcar. The only other intervention I can think of is ventilation, but you probably don’t have much control over that in the hospital. I think you’re doing all you can.

leahcar I’m so sorry. Someone I know swears by vasoline in their nostrils (under a mask).

jr I never tested positive while COVID was in our house January 2022. I definitely had symptoms, but had 2 negative PCRs and countless negative at home tests. My doctor said treat it like a positive and move on. I was not so lucky on the next round. The thing that makes me think H is sick with something different is the duration. Both kids and I have been over symptoms in 2-3 days (some lingering, but significant improvement) and he’s going on 10 days of symptoms, so it’s likely some other cold that he’s not vaccinated against.

Not necessarily Son, his gf and grandson got covid. 2 of them tested positive and 1 had hard symptoms 2 days a grandsob had bit less symptoms another couple days. Son tested positive last but once his symptoms hit they were very bad for 10+ days 2 dr visits loys of meds and that's with pavloxid stuff

It seems the tests are no longer that reliable. I wish the message was actually being spread, but I guess everyone everywhere is still feeling over it all.

I made it. She is having major neurological issues; she had a MRI late today that will hopefully give some answers. TBD if it’s linked to COVID or an unfortunate coincidence.

leahcar hope you can get some answers soon and find a treatment plan for her. I’m Not even shocked by the tests aren’t accurate anymore statement. I feel like that’s been happening consistently since delta started and then more so with omicron so it makes sense. Is this how covid turns into “just another coronavirus” sitch? You know, minus all the lasting effects of long covid and unknown future effects, etc etc. Sigh. Happy new year…..!

leahcarHope it's a wacky fixable thing. Remember in older folks an untreated uti can Have neurological side effects She did have a UTI when admitted. Today is a full week since she wrapped that treatment. This strange combo also brought on seizures; I suspect that’s the real culprit of the neuro issues. She is still hallucinating or just kind of comatose. She did recognize my voice this morning, but then drifted back to wherever her mind is. I loathe feeling helpless. All I can do right now is advocate.

❤️ leahcar. Are you her only/main support person? My sister is here; she’s local. So I am backup these days to her main. That’s it though. Her MRI showed no new issues - and no long term damage from her seizures- so we are going to play with med changes next. She needs more monitoring for the seizures, but we are somewhat optimistic physically there. We just need her mind to start firing because she can’t do rehab or really do anything as is. It is as optimistic of an update that we are going to get today so I’ll take it.
