My dad had to go to the ER yesterday and ended up testing positive for Covid. He is 76 and high risk as he has Myasthenia Gravis , which is a neuromuscular disease (he’s had it for about 6 years). I spoke to him around 7:30pm yesterday before the positive result and he was doing OK but didn’t really want to talk for long.
His symptoms started last Thursday - he has had a fever and vomiting. They finally called their doctor yesterday as he couldn’t keep anything down so he wanted him to go to the ER. My mom is very depressed at the moment as she can’t see him and he doesn’t want to talk to anyone, which is making things worse for her. He is on an IV for fluids and oxygen as well.
Some of you may have met him over the years at a tailgate, he hasn’t been in a while due to his health though. Thats awful Cdawg,, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. Maybe the worst part of this Covid thing is that when someone with it is admitted to the hospital, they can have no visitors... That's gotta be really tough on your mom,, I'll throw out some prayers for your dad and your mom as well...

Well, it's been a rough go but my dad came off of the ventilator last Friday! I've never been happier, it was pretty scary for a while.
I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers during this time. I especially want to thank Jester for all of the very insightful PM's. This board can be an amazing place.
He is able to talk on the phone to us now and has had nothing but amazing things to say about the care he got at Flower Hospital in Toledo. One of the nurses there is probably the reason he is alive today. He's got 7-10 days of PT to go through, but right now he is doing pretty well and will be out of the ICU tomorrow.
He said the whole thing was very scary and could feel that he almost didn't make it. He also said that he wouldn't wish getting Covid on his worst enemy.
Again, thanks to everyone for the support!

Awesome news!!! Horrible thing for a family to go thru. I'm so glad he's off the vent.

Well that's pure awesome! I was really hoping to get this kind of news soon. We'll keep you and dad in our prayers through the PT... Hopefully, one day soon, it will be like it never happened.

Awesome/Great News. Gotta be a relief on he, you, and your family's minds. He no doubt knows he has more 18 hole rounds left in him.
