My sister most likely has contracted Covid-19

My sister had 2 good days followed by a bad day today(not life threatening) just fatigue and shortness of breath but nothing she is too worried about: this is probably the blahs that Tom Hanks spoke about. She is starting on her 7th day.
My Nephew is fine, and other than having a fever, shows no signs of the virus.
My mother yesterday felt as if she was developing pneumonia, she had a oximeter whatever, and it was showing 85%, my sister who is a nurse, checked her breathing but she has this thing that she doesn't want to be my mom's nurse. Anyway, my mom was convinced of this and so she scheduled an appointment with a respiratory doctor in brenham Texas. When she got there, the doctor said that her lungs sound perfect and she had a 93% oxygen rate. The doctor said that they would run a cat scan to make sure, but before my mom could do that something broke at the hospital so the cat scan was never done. That night my mom felt better which is a good thing, but this morning she was having another bad day. At this point my mother is on her 5th day, which is good that there have been no major escalations. My mom now says that she is feeling a pain that's similar to when she had a heart aneurysm. I questioned her about it but I'm not sure if she's just being paranoid or what.
At this point, my feeling is that she is doing good considering, but the fact that she is always telling me about something new has me on edge.
My feeling is that this virus is terrible and it has taken a lot out of my mom and my sister, but thankfully at this point they can still breath okay which is all i want at this point.

 

There is no worries about that, my mom doesn't listen to a lot we say anyway, and she will get a doctor if she needs to. She has spit fire in her blood, and she has a heart doctor that she has gone to for well over 20 years.
My sister is actually auditing medical charts in her time off of work to keep a paycheck.
At this point we are in the wait and see mode. But I don't think it will come to that because my mom will get her treatment one way or the other if she needs it. She hollers enough at me now even with her symptoms, lol.

 

One other thing about this, my mother has doctor's calling her on a daily basis asking about her. It really isn't a situation where she is in a bubble, in fact my mom can't get no peace hardly because my entire family calls her daily about this: text, text, calls, text, that sometimes she just turns her phone off so that she can get peace and sleep.

 

My mom is a trip for sure. Only person you could have a knockdown drag out fight with in a time like this, lol.

 

Only my sister, the assumption is my mother and nephew are also positive by being in close contact and developing symptoms. The tests are being conserved I suppose.
However, it is a good assumption as they are displaying the classic symptoms of it.

 

Right now I am fine. I am usually more wound up in the mornings after talking to them, especially when they give me news that isn't so good.
I am very glad my sister is on the 7th day and my nephew has been fine throughout. At this point I am just holding my breath for my mom and getting her past the 5th day. I am really just counting the days.
I was pretty jacked when I first learned that my mom had it, up till the 3rd day and after she thought she had pneumonia.
I am in a more calm state now at this point.

 

My sister felt better today and she was able to do some charting which means she is feeling better. Again my nephew Kaleb is handling it like a champ. My mom probably slept most of the day but she seems to be feeling better later today. She doesn't have any major difficulty breathing problems like I said which is the main thing for me anyways.
My mom is just really weak. She is starting her 6th day with the virus.
She was running a high temperature this morning but she took Tylenol think it broke it.
The way covid-19 seems to be working, at least in my family's case is you have bouts of really bad days followed by some intermediate good days, or hours.
Again I'm just hoping my mom is going through the blahs, in that it walloped her really good like a case of the flu but 10 times worse. I'm just encouraging her to drink her Gatorade and walk around if she can and maybe take a shower.
That's about all for now. On to day 6.

 

Yeah basically as long as the virus stays away from the lungs as much as possible and they can breathe, as I'm you sure are aware, that's a big victory.
It sounds like your sister and my sister are on the same timeline, lets hope that they both continue to get well. My mom is bringing up the rear so we are still cautious but optimistic.

 

There is no cure for coronavirus. I need to reiterate this. The hospital won't see you unless you are nearly dead and you certainly won't get admitted to the hospital.
The update on my family is this: my sister is having a really hard day once again: she is currently on her 10th day and it has hit her hard once again.
My nephew still says he is fine and he is a huge wrestling fan so he is happy right now.
My mom is in her 8th day and was coughing up a storm, and felt terrible this morning.
At this point, there is still no let up in sight. Although the only bright spot is that they are still breathing okay, but my sister feels tightness in her lungs although she says they are clear.
The sad reality of all of this is that whether you get over this or not is entirely up to you and your immune system.
Please take this seriously, you don't want to go through this either with your family or you. It is terrible and I just don't know when it will end.
