ellitor 33,093 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I wouldn’t normally put something like this in the football forum but I’m scared so I wanted as many eyes on it is possible. My dad just took my mom hoping to get her tested for COVID-19. She’s high-risk if she contracts the disease. She has respiratory issues, typically doesn’t have what is considered adequate levels of oxygen in her blood, had no energy today, & is over 60. My dad took her temperature a while ago and it was 102 and she’s having shortness of breath. As I said earlier I’m scared y’all so please pray for her.

AUsince72 11,084 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 On it E! My parents are both at risk with heart issues (+ mom's a diabetic), I have a shot immune system due to my chemo, my mother-in-law & father-in-law (divorced) are in the same boat as me, my father-in-law's wife has MS and had a series of strokes this past year and their daughter (my wife's 1/2 sister) is one who has the flippant "we're all stupid" attitude so they're extra at risk & my wife is VERY scared for them, my brother's wife works in a hospital lab and one of her close co-workers has been exposed so my brother's family is having to sweat things out now (in Alabama BTW)..... These are scary times for some of us and I'm praying for you & your family my brother! God bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If results come back positive my mom would be the 1st known case in Autauga County. She is a dental assistant & did some work on a patient yesterday or Wednesday who, from what I understand, flippantly said he had the flu Monday but was fine at his appointment. For my mom's sake, and his, I hope it really was the flu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,093 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 She got tested for Covid-19. Will know the results in 48 hours. The doctors think it is the flu. She had a fever but now she's getting bouts of chills to go with the fever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumps 3,704 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Prayers for your Mom. I wish they had also tested for flu. She should take Tylenol for the fever/chills. Let us know if you need anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my mom's sake I hope it really was the flu. The positive to that is it’s early in the war. The system is not overwhelmed yet. She would be in the first wave and get the needed treatment. Still hoping it’s negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not impossible to have both viruses, but extraordinarily unlikely. Our current policy is that if you are + for flu, there’s no need to test for COV-19 . prayers sent!

passthebiscuits 6,846 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The fever is a bit high for COVID-19 from my experience. We are seeing low grade fevers (low 100s) mostly. Although, still sounds like something is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj3jordan 2,052 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 You got it Grumps. Chest X-ray will be very diagnostic. My wife just had pneumonia which is C19 end game. Hers was not the virus though as evidenced by only one lobe lower posterior shaded area. Covid has bilateral infection with white clusters scattered from top to bottom. She responded well to antibiotics. Hope your mom is clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
