They were together at Christmas and then for a birthday party for Len, who is deceased, and then Jon's family, Chris, Dave and Carole all came down wth the Covid. I think Carole showed the symptoms last. Dave had it bad cuz of his asthma.
They were tested last week and came back positive and Carole was told by her doctor it could get worse around the 8th or 9th day and she wanted her to come in for an infusion. Carole somehow missed the call with the time and so missed it.
She sounded terrible when I talked to her on Thursday and she got worse from there. She said last night was really bad. She went to ER around noon on Saturday the 24th and they have her on steroids, fluids, and nausea medicine and keeping her over night. She said the nausea was the worst but she also has a horrible cough, whenever I talk to her. Her oxygen level was ok. They wondered earlier if she had a way to measure that at home.
One of the things I was told was that if you have covid you should not get the vaccine until 90 days after recovery. Yet today I read that a lady had covid in December and got the vaccine this week and died so lots of rumors and there is not enough vaccine.
I have not been able to get an appointment yet and neither has Marilyn. Jeanne had hers a few weeks ago.
Carole did not come home from the hospital until January 28th and she came home with oxygen tank and way to measure it. It got down to 85 in the hospital, she is to keep it above 92. She is also on blood thinner because of the heart flutter they detected and that helps to prevent strokes. Someone is coming on Monday for two hours to give her help on how to take care of herself, etc.
They think that Sage contacted the virus first from someone in school and she was quarantined and only attended about 4 days of school in January.
