I guess we just wait for updates.
Fingers crossed.
Still in the hospital and they still can't get his oxygen levels up where they need to be. Apparently just sitting up causes his levels to drop dramatically. He isn't intubated, yet, but they are doing some sort of treatment on him four times a day at this point. I get info third or fourth hand so I don't have much in the way of details.
His wife, who is older than he is, was also sick but was diagnosed with flu, given some medication and is doing better.
COVID is so strange in it's symptoms, variances in severity, and the way it seems to just not bother some people who have definitely been directly exposed.
Husband talked about driving out there but was talked out of it. He can't see his cousin anyway and doesn't need to travel a thousand miles, be worn down, and exposed to who knows what in the process.
If Charlie doesn't pull out of this my husband is going to be devastated. He is really the only family member husband has had constant contact with throughout his life.
