If you wouldn't mind saying a prayer for Nef, a member here and also my fiance, I would really appreciate it.
He just recently had pneumonia. Sheesh, I think only a few weeks ago. Well, he wasn't feeling great yesterday while at work and he works around a lot of people so he decided to take a home covid test last night after work. Kind of to ease his mind and also to know whether or not to be around a lot of people today at work.
He was feeling tired/drained, a little headache and a little sore throat yesterday. He's not an over-worrier at all, but he's in tune with his system. He took a test when he got home. Positive. He didn't believe it and took a second test. Positive.
Ugh.
He has COPD, heart and lung issues. Had literally just gotten over pneumonia and that was scary. And here we are again.
Today the cough started and has gotten worse and worse throughout the day. Please just say even one prayer for him. We have to keep him out of the hospital. And we will so long as his oxygen stays good.
We're throwing everything at it right now as far as medicines and vitamins.
He's in good spirits and even wants to get things done around the house, which of course I won't let him do right now for obvious reasons.
Prayers going up for Nef.
Just got back from the hospital. He's getting iv antibiotics. Doctor said the iv rounds will be done tomorrow and he should be able to come home.
My hub can't swallow properly and that's how he's getting pneumonia--secretions work their way down into his lungs.
Plus tbh he puts his fingers in his mouth when he shouldn't at times to pick at dried phelgm..we have a suction machine I'm always nagging him to use...sorry if tmi...
Suggestion--Clear Lung from Amazon or Vitamin Shoppe...

also liposomal vitamin C like 1500 or so...

it's sold out on this website but you can get it from amazon..
and sisu Vitamin C supreme worked the best, but it's from Canada and takes awhile to get here... here's a US Source but I usually get it from Amazon

it contains quercitin and arabinogalactan which you can get from Larch tree Bark supplements---known to strength the gut but helped him I think with the immune system... Larch tree bark supplements are easier to find and not as expensive as the Canadian product...
Elderberry syrup is helpful,
Walmart has a store brand I get for about 8 bucks
B12 and Zinc....of course the horse paste as well in small doses can't hurt...
tylenol for fever...if you could get an antibiotic z-pak seems to help the best for him--problem is after awhile it doesn't work or they have to switch the antibiotics around...
Even with all the vitamins he still gets sick due to reasons above...but the sisu stuff kept him out of the hospital for about 2 years prior to pandemic....and even during the pandemic...
maybe consider getting a neti pot in lieu of a suction machine to flush out phlegm....
putting this on here in case it helps Nef or someone else...
love you all and thank you again for prayers and praying for all of you.
eta paxlovd imo doesn't work...if he is prescribed it be careful can make things worse...my hubs never received it but some friends did and they stopped taking it after like 2 days
