17 year old in hospital

[OneLitreOfWater]

Hi, I guess I'm just looking for reassurance here and people's experiences. He's on day 11 of Covid and went into hospital yesterday when his oxygen sats went to 95%. He has typically bad Covid lungs apparently, no infection. He's asthmatic. This morning his sats were 92%. His treatment yesterday was set as nebuliser, dexomethasone, and oxygen when necessary. Obviously we're not allowed to visit and are really worried.

So happy to hear this!!!xx

@OneLitreOfWater Amazing news…so glad he is back!

back home! Pressed send too soon

Great news 👍🏻
Such a relief for you all .

Thinking of your OP, he’s so young and will hopefully start improving quickly

Is he on a children’s ward OP?

I was in hospital a lot with breathing difficulties when I was around 20. The thing I struggled with the most was being around much older people who were going to die in there. Respiratory wards are noisy places and listening to 80 year olds die/splutter on lung fluid was pretty upsetting.

I’m sharing because nobody really acknowledged how hard/scary being in that environment was for me so it may help you support your son as he comes out of this.

If he’s on a children’s ward though I imagine it won’t be so bad and the bays are usually smaller.

I'm just wondering if you can drop off some good earplugs, like the ones made of mouldable silicone?

Duh, now caught up, glad you have him home!

Very happy for you ok.
Make sure he gets as much rest as possible and doesn't rush back into tiring himself out - less chances of long Covid that way x

'Op' not ok!

I'm so pleased he is home and much better.

great news!
