Thank you for your encouraging words. That’s how I feel……. Just wish the antibodies were more available! Believe it or not my daughter hasn’t used her 02 in 3 days and her heart rate has been below 90. She has first virtual appt with pulmonologist Monday and then first real appt feb 11th. The ctcans while in hosp showed the pulmonary fibrosis, so I hope she follows up with the lung dr. Praying in time u can wean from the 02 also. At least they are more portable and easier to do things. Are u participating in a pulmonary rehab program? Thanks again.

I'm so happy for your daughter she was able to go off of oxygen. I too have been on oxygen 24/7 since Sept 2021 after having Covid. My primary Dr had me get an xray about a week ago and scarring was still seen. I have an appt with my Pulmonary Dr this week but my question to you is, if your daughter was diagnosed with fibrosis how was she able to go off of oxygen? Can you give me more information since I didn't think lungs could heal and I'm looking for hope. Thanks!
