My husband Will came down with COVID and was so weak, he barely made it to the hospital and could not slide into his bed from the gurney without help. He could barely talk. He was in the hospital for 3 days and they gave him a daily shot of the vaccine intravenously. He recouperated very fast and was ready to come home after the 3rd day. Will had all the shots, including the last Booster and doctor said it was a different variant of the virus.
Thank you for the update, @dave01 Your poor mum didn’t need to add Covid to the mix. It’ll be interesting to see if the Cipro has any effect on her symptoms. If you can get her some yogurt to have once a day between doses that might help her out with any intestinal side effects from the antibiotic.
It’s encouraging to hear she is improving with eating and drinking. I’m sure this is all so alarming for her to be in a strange environment and then having all this medical attention. It can be pretty jarring for someone in Memory Care. How are you holding up?
