So sorry. I would give anything to hug my Mom one more time.

@goldensrbest I wouldn't worry too much. Any cold or flu at 80 can be serious. However, my 80 year old mother and father both had Covid twice. My dad is healthy, my mom is overweight, high blood pressure, diabetic, along with other health issues.

They both got through it pretty quickly. My mom said she was much sicker when she was sick from other viruses than she was with Covid.

Oh, and one of the times my dad had Covid he didn't even know it. He only tested because my mom was sick. His only system was a little fatigue.

@goldensrbest I'm sorry your Mom has COVID. I'm almost 82 and am just recovering from it. Don't know how I got it and was boosted in April again. Perhaps it's helped.
I only took two treatments of Paxlovid and my tummy couldn't tolerate it so Dr said to stop. Runny nose, coughing but better. There are other antiviral drugs but I wasn't offered any. Just told to stay home 5 days.
I hope she can have treatment it might be over faster, I'm on day 13, still coughing.

I'm surprised the nursing home didn't give their residents the latest vaccine, or did they?

The vaccine can not keep you from getting Covid It can make it lesser if you do get it

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

@goldensrbest I'm so sorry that your mom got covid. I'm going to think good thoughts for her to make a full recovery soon. Can you do skype or zoom video calls with her? Maybe that could help her through this and also could help in being able to see her since you're far away.. You're a lovely daughter to care about and worry about her. All the best to you and your mom

@goldensrbest

I understand your concern, but with the distance between you, you have no choice but to trust the staff to take care of her. If your mom has been vaccinated and boostered, her case may not become severe.

I am pretty sure my husband has been dealing with Covid for the last week. If so, his case has been mild, thanks to taking every shot available thru the VA. He ran a significant fever for nearly 2 days and hasn't wanted to eat, but has not complained of anything. The only way I can explain it is that he's just "off" and not his normal self.

Within 2 weeks after we placed my mom in 24/7 care last September, she was exposed to and tested positive for Covid. Mom refused to take the vaccine, so at 89, we were quite concerned. She coughed a little and had a runny nose for a week and that was it!

Prayers and best wishes to both of you!
