Showing Original Post only (View all)He was admitted to the hospital April 9. He's back home today! [View all]
My bffs son, who Ive written here about a few times, was stricken with Covid and it ravaged him but he survived.
He was intubated, on dialysis, a feeding tube .... now hes on a walker; tires easily with just a few steps; and has a severe bedsore and a very long way back to anything near his former life.
It was touch-and-go as to him coming back at all. His aunt was looking into funeral arrangements at one point.
I attribute the many prayers and well wishes including those expressed here at DU which were conveyed to him to his return home.
Thanks DU.
