Hello, all -
Update on Grandniece Olivia, (Ollie,) she is still hospitalized but recovering in stages. First couple of days were scary, high temps, respiratory difficulties and weakness. At times quite a lot of pains and general discomfort.
Hydroxychloroquine, (SP?) was administered on second day, by the day following there was significant improvement. By day four she felt much better, breathing was significantly improved, pains and weakness also less severe.
She's walking well on her own, needed a walker and help for a while, feels overall much better and seems more like our Ollie now. She loves the medical staff, she realizes she received exceptional care. The nurses were so devoted to her and their other patients, above and beyond as the saying goes.
Some of them would call her during their off times, after ensuring she was awake, just to check in and say Hi. That went a long way toward encouraging her, being a very young lady, away from home and alone.
It's undecided when she will be released, and where she will be. That's not the main issue at hand, just a complete recovery and return to her normal health and self. We're much less frightened now, and very hopeful.
I offer my praise and thanks, to all of the doctors and nurses for being the dedicated professionals they are, and I mean all across America. It has been a huge effort. Bless you all.
Thanks to all of you members, for the concern and good thoughts you expressed. It meant a lot.
Patrick
