Coronavirus Hit My Family
Update: My brother-in-law is a lot better, but still not 100%
When the quarantine started, we took it seriously because we have several elderly family members. We haven’t seen them in person for several weeks.
For the past few days, my brother-in-law hadn’t been feeling well. We didn’t think anything of it because he is healthy and fit.
His health declined quickly and his wife drove him to the hospital. She wasn’t allowed to stay with him. Last June, they were married. My brother-in-law was a widower for many years and our family was thrilled he found love again. We knew this had to be awful for her.
NJ hospitals have rapid testing and they told him right away that he was positive for coronavirus. He had pneumonia too. The doctors wrote him prescriptions and sent him home. His wife turned around and picked him up.
We waited for text messages with updates to the family. Fevers, chills, sleeping and no change didn’t bring a lot of hope.
Finally, my brother-in-law texted that he was feeling better. Lee dialed his number fast. While he’s still sick, he feels better and not so run down. Thank God.
My brother-in-law didn’t know anyone who had coronavirus. He stayed home for several weeks, except for going out for groceries.
Please take precautions when you go out.
*Thank you for the prayers and kind words. A few of you asked if my sister-in-law had coronavirus. She has no symptoms, but they are anticipating it. My sister-in-law is also healthy and has no medical issues.
Hugs,
