Just got off the phone with my parents. They both have felt week and achy the last few days. My mom tested positive for covid, my dad negative but they both live in the same living area within a long term care facility. Both in their early 80's. Looking positive as they both have no underlying conditions per say. Other than my dads inability to stand up for anything longer than a few minutes, inability to perform day to day necessities i.e. putting on shoes, clothing, preparing meals and hygiene.
Although my dad tested negative he is doing worse than my mom. They informed most likely they are both positive. My dad is getting retested. I absoulty believe in the freedom of choice in respect to getting a vaccine. Both my parents indicated weeks ago the desire to get vaccinate. Good news, its being distributed but now it's a race against time.
Hoping for the best!
Just an update and a big "Thank You" for all the prayers and well wishes sent. Both my parents have covid. My Mom faired as well as expected for her age and is doing OK. My Dad had issues as his blood oxygen level dropped to 82 (trouble). They sent him to the hospital placed him on 4 liters of oxygen (I believe per hour) and according to the hospital administered the same therapeutics President Trump received. After two days they weaned off the oxygen and his blood oxygen is up tp 92. He is out of the hospital and back at his assisted living facility in a special unit but feeling much better!
Again thanks to all and a Merry Christmas!
