Mum 95 has it and is fine...

[john-e89]

As suspected my 95 yr old mum has tested positive for the virus in the care home she’s in along with 4 others, brought in by a carer who caught it who lives in Sheffield a few weeks ago we think who has now been away for a couple of weeks and is thankfully fine now. Mum had a chest infection last Thursday or so, Doc’s signed off anti bi’s straight away as she’s had a few before but didn’t respond as normal so a test taken and has been positive. Her sister has just turned 105 in Australia and is fine, mum smoked like a chimney for donkeys years, 60 a day and her lungs are clear..! A week in and she’s sitting up in bed chatting to carers with little problems, certainly no need for hospital as yet, which I’d assume won’t be needed as if she’s not gasping after a week I’m hoping it won’t get any worse. Just shows how it affects people in different ways. I always said it’d take a field cannon to drop mum....! :lol:

Unfortunately I doubt the others will be so lucky....but keeping fingers crossed..!

Bad news she has the virus,good news she is coping well with it.

If she pulls through she might get immune after this which would be a big bonus (as effective treatment and vaccins are still far away I believe). fingers crossed.
My dad is also in a nursing home but is much younger and smoked like a steam locomotive his whole life but now has COPD stage 3 so not so lucky. So if he gets it he's probably not so lucky.

Sorry to read that she has it John, but it's great to see that it doesn't seem to be causing her major problems.

I hope she makes a full and speedy recovery.

I spend most days rifling through paperwork, does that count?

Good news John, she must have had you young though, being 95 and you knocking around the 80 mark :evil:

Hey thanks very much all...!!

I’m just so amazed....you’d simply assume that’s it, get the undertaker rung....still can’t get my head around it...!

Mind you Adolf had a go at her too, she was on the searchlights outskirts of London WW2, got hit by some shrapnel, couldn’t have kids after that hence my late brother and I are adopted, but even that didn’t floor her...! Tough as old boots..! :lol:
