Just had a call from the hospital and it's some good news, my ma is fighting back, she better than yesterday when they said she couldn't eat, drink or speak, she's still confused due to the bowel infection but she's talking in sentences .


All her veins had collapsed but they've finally managed to get a drip into her for the first time in around 5 days and they're giving her intravenous antibiotics trying to fight the pneumonia.

Yesterday they said that my mother's left lung had been completely filled with infection.


The bad news is that those antibiotics will kill the good enzymes in my mam's bowel and enable the CDIF infection to run wild, but given the covid implications it's far more urgent that my mam's lungs are as clear as possible. The CDIF bowel infection will have to be attacked later.


Because of the delirium caused by that CDUF infection my mam has been spitting out the steroidal medication though.


She's also managed to eat half a bowel of porridge.
I was told not to get my hopes up though because it's quite common that when a patient hits rock bottom that they suddenly perk up and improve only to go back downhill again quickly thereafter. All we can do is pray / keep our fingers crossed.


I was also told that many younger people have died with the level of covid infection which my mam currently has and she has confounded doctors thus far, but she is still a long way from being out of the woods.

 

So sorry to to hear that mate. Really hope she defies the odds.

Fuck, have I missed tonight's Trans-Bestiality on Ice? Kate Garraway was on it.

If they fall, they fall into a bucket of lamb arses. If only I knew the plural for anus.

The lady below me, she's about late 60s, had it in April, she's not a smoker but must have some condition as she's always coughing anyway I thought this looks bad, you know with the things you read about who's most at risk and all that, she's made a good recovery after being hospitalised for about a month so all is well there. 

So good luck.

One day at a time, and she is fighting it which is a good sign. I really hope you continue to receive positive news.

It's great news that PHE are now saying they think 25% of people who have never had Covid, have cross immunity to it through T-Cell responses. It's looked pretty clear that there was some other immuno response going on - other than antibodies - for some time nwo, so great that it's been confirmed and that the percentage is quite high.

Jumping from a box marked 'suggests' and 'may' based on a study of 1,000 people that hasn't been printed or peer reviewed to a box marked 'confirmed' is quite the leap of faith.

You wouldn't be saying that if it was bad news, you morbid fuck!
