My DH 29 no health conditions is now on day three in hospital with his oxygen levels still not improving. He is on iv antibiotics and morphine. Drs have said he has a severe lung infection. I don't know what to do with myself I'm trying to stay strong for our three babies DS6,DS4 and DD 9 months. I don't understand how it's affected him so terribly. My symptoms were so mild and lasted 4/5 days. He has had symptoms since 28th December. I'm so worried. Has anyone else experienced this? How long did it take to get off the oxygen? Where there any complications? Would you be able to share the Long term prognosis ? He keeps saying he feels like this is it and that he won't be coming home 😭

Sending your DH healing thoughts. Must be such a scary lonely place for you both. The odds are in his favour, keep strong rest when you can x

We’re still here with you OP and you are all in my prayers 💐

@Wardrobes123 hope your DH had a better day? We are just plodding on. Managed a walk with the kids this morning that's all I had energy for. Managed a wee lie down while DD finally had a decent nap this afternoon.

A wee update for everyone. My DH seems to be out of the danger zone now 🤞🤞🤞🤞he is still being given drugs through his mask( I'm so tired I ant think of the name for it at all) but he has been able to be off oxygen and maintain his oxygen levels today so I am so delighted. Hope he will be home soon as we all miss him so much. I find myself now worrying about the future , if he will have permanent damage to his lungs/ other complications such as blood clots/ heart issues. He came so close to death it has made me feel almost paranoid like I have to wrap him up in cotton wool. I don't know how I could go on without him . Just want him home so I can snuggle up on the sofa watching crappy tv together ❤️

That’s fabulous news @Melabells I hope he fully recovers quickly

Glad he is improving. It’s normal to worry about the future and when he comes home, but just take one day at a time. I bet your children can’t wait for him to come home.

Oh that is wonderful. What good news, I hope he is at home very very soon.

I've only just seen this thread. What a huge worry you've had, and I'm delighted to read your most recent update.
My very best wishes to you and your family Praying for a good recovery for him x
