Angie has a lot of people who care about her health and it is getting difficult to get the word out to everyone, so I’m going to be posting here. I’m sorry the site looks like it hasn’t been updated since 2001, I’ll see about fixing that. Please don’t be surprised if things look different when you come back in the next couple days.<\/p>\n

Last night I took Angie to the hospital because she tested positive for COVID and had a little difficulty breathing the night before. Since I also have COVID, I was unable to accompany her into the hospital. She is unable to take Paxlovid because of the other medications she’s on, and so our only option to get her the treatment she needs was to take her to the ER. We consulted with her on-call cardiology staff and they recommended that we do just that.<\/p>\n

Late last night she got her first dose of Remdesivir<\/a>, an antiviral that helps to prevent the spread of the virus. She tolerated it well and slept without a problem. This morning when they tried to lower her oxygen flow, her blood oxygen levels dropped. They won’t let her go until she can maintain her levels with only room air. We’ve heard different stories from the nurse and doctors about how long this treatment usually lasts, but she may be in for a few days while they get her back to a safe place.<\/p>\n

TL;DR<\/p>\n

Angie is doing well, getting the medicine she needs, but still requires oxygen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
