Don't know for sure if its corona but I expect he will be tested now but I'm very worried, he has heart health problems so isn't healthy to begin with but now his oxygen sat levels are low so they've taken him in.

Just need a hand hold I suppose. I have to find the positives here, at least its before the peak so there are beds.

He was able to talk today to my mum on face time. He asked if she could bring him a dvd player! He must be so bored now that he's awake and getting stronger.

Bored is a fantastic sign! I’m so pleased for you and your mum Grin

BoreOfWhabylon · 30/04/2020 18:49

What a trouper! Are you able to facetime him Natsku?

Asiama · 30/04/2020 19:26

Hi Natsku, I've been following your post from the beginning and have thought of you often. I am so irrationally happy for you that your dad is getting better! Being bored is definitely a good sign Smile I will continue to keep my fingers crossed for your dad.

Glad hes okay. What part of the uk are you in x

ChipotleBlessing · 30/04/2020 19:48

That’s brilliant! Have you got a DVD player for him? Can he manage a tablet?

The nurses are going to see about getting a tv for him, we can't send in a dvd player. I haven't been able to video call him but going to make a video and send it to my mum to send to him.

@Healthyandhappy they're in suffolk

I've got a little portable DVD player that doesn't need a TV. Didn't cost much. Perhaps he could have one of those?

Noworrieshere · 30/04/2020 20:19

Oh that's such good news. He's given me hope that people can and do get better even when they are really sick.
We need a photo of him leaving the hospital (unidentifiable from the back obviously), I'm going to pin him on my noticeboard for motivation, my own personal covid poster-boy.
