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.

Decreased kidney function is pretty normal with severe Covid 19, so I wouldn’t worry about that too much. I think it improving may be a very good sign.

Ok. I just know so little and don't want to ask my mum too many questions as I don't want to upset her more than she is already. The improvement is good, hopefully lungs will start improving too soon.

Still thinking of you. I’d take it as a good sign that his kidney function is improving 😊 xxx

A very small improvement this morning too! Not just in kidney function but also oxygen/lungs! The liaison is going to ring again after the consultant has been to see him, hoping we'll know a bit more then.

That’s really positive news. 🙏

Cornettoninja · 04/04/2020 10:26

That’s encouraging.

His kidney function may have been low but in the range of ‘let’s keep an eye on that but it’s ok at the moment’.
