THE FULL STORY

Day by Day

March 24, 2020

2.00am report:  Mom called in a panic saying that dads breathing isn’t good and that his legs are buckling and she cant get him in the car, but she thinks she has to call 911.  She sat him on the bed, afraid he was going to fall and called.  

2.20am report:  First responders came, dressed outside in protective gear and came in, and brought him down on a chair stretcher.. Mom couldn’t go..

2.45am report:  Dr Donnoghan reached out and said his signs of pneumonia seem much better once they got him on oxygen as soon as he got into the ambulance.  They are not yet sure about the treatments as they are reserving them for the sickest patients - he will need to be assessed.

3.59am report:  Just heard from Dr. Fandel.  They are giving him hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin.. They say He is doing much better now than when he came in.  He needed oxygen so he was a bit loopy when he got in.   A COVID-19 hospital rule is no visitors He’s moving out of ER and admitted to a room.  HE is on nasal oxygen and is at 5/6 meter which is the maximum amount.  This amount will help to keep him saturated - when it is decreased, his breathing is labored.  

I’ll call when I wake up and get another update.
