Not Quite Out of the Woods

 After posting yesterday, I checked on Mom in her guest house. She was listless again, asking for pain relievers, and had a fever. By evening it was higher than ever at 101.7. I found out she had taken a Naprosyn the day before, which changed the game. Naprosyn lasts around 12 hours, and as an NSAID was suppressing her fever. So now she will let me know when she takes it, so I won't assume her temp is good. Otherwise she has been very cooperative.

Her oxygen sats stayed around 94% at bedtime, and this morning they were at 98%. She got up before 7am, took a shower and dressed on her own, ate breakfast--and quickly tuckered out, ready for bed again by 8:30am. At noon and 3pm I checked on her again; the fever is gradually climbing, up to 99.7 degrees at 3pm. Her sats were down to 92%, so I had her breathe deeply until they went up to 97%. Her window is open by her bed, to keep good fresh air circulating in her little house. It's been raining and the air is fresh.

At around noon she called to say she was having chest pains, which gave me quite a start, but they went away, and I decided against calling an ambulance.

I have run out of ivermectin, so I am switching her to hydroxychloroquine as I have a good supply. I am carefully following dose instructions from the telemed doctor. She is also now on a five-day course of azithromycin. 

I had her use a nose spray dispenser with colloidal silver in it, and now her nasal passages are clear and not dripping. The dispenser came free with the purchase of the silver at Sunshine Foods. 

The ultrasound humidifier still runs continuously with hydrogen peroxide. We'll see how her temp and sats are after dinner.

Telemed Appointment Cancelled

Today I received this text from Telemed: "Due to overwhelming demand and long wait times, your consultation was canceled and payment authorization voided. To rebook, please log back in and complete form." I am SO thankful that we really don't need the appointment now. We already had the ivermectin and HCQ on hand. I feel for those who didn't have it to start early treatment with.  And I am praying for the frontline doctors who are trying to serve the entire nation in the face of government obstruction.  In this video interview, one of the panelists concludes that the only countries still struggling with COVID are the wealthy, Westernized nations! The rest of the world has taken their ivermectin and ended the pandemic. What's the difference? Money.  https://www.covidcon21.com/index.php/natural-prevention-early-treatment/

A Fading Memory

Today I look back on Mom's illness last September and thank God that it's all a fading memory. Mom is very healthy, her 92 years notwithstanding. She still has some b/p issues that have dogged her for decades, and yes she is aging, but still drives herself; she recently went on a long trip across Oregon with birding friends to various wildlife refuges.  She has not had any COVID boosters. Why bother? Yet we have relatives who caught COVID who still got their boosters because their doctor recommended it! It's insane and anti-science.  One of my sons (29yo) had one vax shot and now has COVID.  He's actually relieved to finally have it, and I'm glad too, as the current strain has become so mild.  My husband, who had two shots, probably got COVID in February (Omicron). So pretty much everyone in my family has had it now--whether vaxxed or not. And those who got vaxxed are now that much the wiser, realizing it's a big scam.  I'm just thankful they didn't hav...
