Covid

[just-typing]

I am only writing this post to let you all know that our son who works for the ambulance service in the UK has been taken into hospital having contracted vivid. It seems that he is in a bad way of breathing. It just shows how vulnerable our emergency services are. PLEASE be safe and sensible

[suzannah16]

❤️ sending best wishes and hope he has a speedy recovery

Thank you very much. Naturally it is a difficult time as we live 130 miles away from him and his family, and we can't go up due to this

horrific pandemic. My wife suffers with Lupus, so we are stuck waiting for news.

I'm so sorry - my daughter is a nurse sent to work on Covid ICU and the other is a paramedic working in A&E. I'm you have lain awake at nights as I have dreading this result. I do hope he's OK. And it is high time that every dose of vaccine available was given to the medical staff first. I've been shielding all year - another couple of months won't hurt me.

Thank you and yes, your daughter is one of the stars in this world. Be safe and keep as well as you possibly can.

[just-typing]

Why don't you do a meet via gmail? Then at least you will see them as well.

[Spanielmadlady in reply to just-typing]

We do have video calls we had a zoom call on Christmas day before she went to work.🙂

That’s awful 😞 I’m so sorry your son has got covid - my niece is in the last year of her training to be a nurse and she has caught covid twice as she was put on the Covid wards, luckily she is young and fit. I do hope your son will soon be out of hospital xx

[just-typing]

It is so sad that they are so vulnerable . I hope your niece stays well

Sending all my love, I had to give my job in a primary school up because of virus and I kept having infections fortunately I retire in January

[just-typing]

Enjoy your retirement. And please stay safe

[Josiah150767]

HiSorry to hear about your son and I hope he recovers soon. My daughter is a nurse and she has been redeployed to help with covid and it is a worry. I have to stay away from her and my grandsons because of the risks

[just-typing]

That is a sad state of affairs. I am sorry to hear that. Hopefully she will be okay. Take care

Thinking of your son and so hoping for him to do well. It sounds like they reacted fast, which is now key to getting best results with all the new medications.

Do you know what they have him on?

Please keep us informed

I’m so sorry just-typing. I hope he recovers quickly 💐

[just-typing in reply to Cathyan]

Thank you Cathyan. Everyone's good wishes have helped to keep calm about this dreadful thing

[CecilyParsley]

I am so very sorry to hear this. I hope and pray that your son gets prompt and effective treatment to enable him to recover. You must be so worried bless you. Xx

[just-typing]

Thank you very much to you and all the replies we have received. We are waiting for more news today. There is a possibility that they may let him home and keep an eye on him via their virtual hospital. They don't feel that he needs ventilation at this time. I think it is amazing that things like zoom are now available.

[rosebud52]

Best wishes I hope your son has a full recovery 🙏 X

[just-typing]

Thank you Rosebud52

[kingsnorth]

Praying he will make a speedy recovery

[Waxed]

My thoughts are with you and your son.Hope everything works out well for you all.

[just-typing]

Thank you very much. He was due home today and would have been monitored by the virtual hospital monitor, but they have decided to keep him there and moved him to ICU. He has an oxygen mask on him. Our daughter in law is keeping us up to date.

[Cathyan in reply to just-typing]

Hoping he is out of ICU soon. just-typing. It is so hard that NHS workers like your son are having to risk their lives doing their jobs. Thank him from us when you get a chance. Sending hugs.

[Susieliz39]

What a stressful time you and your family are having. I hope there is more positive news for you very soon. Take care sue x

[Jmiller623]

So sorry to hear this. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts. Hope he makes swift recovery. I’m sure it’s the last thing you need to bring in the New Year. Sending hugs your way. ❤️xx

Thank you Jmiller

[Spotty-ewe]

SO sorry to hear this JT. It is so unfair when somebody like your son helping others is struck down by Covid himself. I hope and pray his breathing improves very soon and that he makes a speedy and full recovery. 🙏🏻 I also pray that people act responsibly at New Year to keep safe others of those we all depend on when we are ill ourselves. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. 🙏🏻 🤗😘x

[just-typing]

Thank you Spotty-ewe: we have not long ago received pics of him with his face covered by an oxygen breathing mask and a Canulla in his wrist. Very upsetting, but we needed to see it.

[KayHimm in reply to just-typing]

So hard, I know. Must be hard to see those pictures. Maybe try to focus on how the oxygen is helping him to breath comfortably. They may have him on medications that could kick in soon.

Thinking of you and family.

[Spotty-ewe in reply to just-typing]

I’m just wondering how your son is doing now JT. I hope and pray he is making good progress.🙏🏻 Keep us posted. Thinking of you. 🤗😘

[just-typing]

Thank you very much KayHimm. Isn't it sad that people just won't follow guidance that could possibly have eradicated the pandemic now.

[Dustb]

Sorry to about your son. Hope he's recovering from this awful virus. The emergency services do such a marvellous job, while putting their own lives at risk. We all have to do the right things to save lives and to protect people like your son. Be strong, stay safe.

[just-typing]

Thank you Dustb. The support from everyone on these sites has been nothing but marvellous.

[just-typing]

I am happy to say that although he is not out of the woods yet, there is progress. They take his breathing equipment off him at meal times, for an hour. He is still not there yet. However, he has been allowed to go to the bathroom alone, and he is texting us. Thank you to both yourself and the many well wishers for you support. I will put a notice on when he finally gets to go home. Love you all.xx

[Spotty-ewe in reply to just-typing]

Praying that he continues along the road to recovery and look forward to your post when he finally gets home. Take care JT. 🤗😘💕
