He is my husband’s brother and has a lot of health issues especially with his lungs. This is not good. My husband has withdrawn, he is probably also scared but he is also incapable of talking about his emotions so this is a very hard time for us.
BIL is in Colorado, his wife, who was with him 9 days ago and has no symptoms, is in WA. We were all together 9 days ago! So far, we are ok, but we are so worried we have it too. We have been in total lockdown, have not left our house in the 9 days except to walk the dog.
DH wants to go to CO and I feel so selfish, but I really don't want him to go. Nothing he can do until BIL is out of the hospital, but I am petrified BIL is not going to make it. I AM SO SCARED. Its made worse by the fact I cant talk to DH about it and I already have high stress and anxiety over this virus taking someone I love and now this. I need a hug. I need more but don't know where to turn or how to get help. I’ve told my girlfriends but cant talk to them without dh and the kids hearing and i don't want them to know how freaked out I am.
update 1. I dont know how he is!!! My SIL only sends updates when there is news andI have no idea what she considers news. I am praying he is stable. We tried calling my niece but she said her mom is point of contact and to ask her. Ugh.
i got handslapped by SIL not once, not twice, but THREE times in the last 24 hours. The first time I asked how she was doing and said I bet you’re scared and worried because we are too. Omg! i now know all about Psychology Ring Theory. Then she got mad at me for offering to try and help and one more, but not able to share that one.
i KNOW she is stressed, I KNOW she is worried. And I’m letting all her *** wash over me. My dh needs me and I am not getting him involved in this. From here on out we will patiently, or not so patiently, wait for “news”. My kids agree with me which is one good thing because otherwise I would think I had gone crazy and forgotten how to be a nice person.
and my dh is not going, at least not now.
i want to add that its at times like these that you realise just how good for the soul an online community is. Without this place, this pod, you people, i don’t know where i would be right now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support right now.
Update 2:
It's been 18 hours and my SIL hasn't said a word to any of us.
update 3: updates from my sister-in-law have been pretty sporadic. He is not stable. He improves a little and has a setback and improves again. Right now he’s a little better. Keep hoping and praying for the best. He gets oxygen through a nasal cannula at this point. At least he’s not on a ventilator.
update 4. Things just getting worse! I want to crawl into a cave and not come out for the next 6 weeks. My BIL is not doing well. He has underlying medical conditions that are complicating his care. Luckily he is still only on an O2 canula. If he survives he could be in hospital for 3-6 weeks minimum. And now my SIL, Dh's other brother's wife, whom we are very close to, is ALSO in hospital with Covid. She has pneumonia as well. She is also a cancer survivor. her husband had it too but he is 95% better. We all suspect their 4 kids and spouses had it too. But all of them had much milder cases. 3 of our kids were with us too. My daughter and her SO were tested today. They think they had it too.
We are so scared right now! I found my husband, the guy I said above was incapable of expressing his emotions, crying, sobbing, in the basement this evening. This is so hard. We were all together and now this. One family gathering and this. Please keep them in your prayers if you pray, or send positive energy into the universe.
update 5: my SIL is home! Its going to be 3-6 weeks before she is fully recovered but she is passed the worst.PHEW.
DH’s brother is still in hospital and he’s beaten the virus according to his drs. However he has been left with moderate to severe lung damage and will probably be in hospital for at least a few weeks. Potentially he may require supplemental o2 for the rest of his life but he’s alive for which we are all VERY thankful.
He added his brothers and sister to the list of people who could talk to his drs so that at least has eliminated the stress of knowing how he is.
On the testing side, both my daughter, myself and hospitilized BIL’s wife tested negative. Dd’s SO was positive. They’ve been in quarantine since we were together and will maintain that for another 2 weeks. We will do the immunity test when we can.
thank you for all your prayers and healing energy. I am so grateful to have you all in my corner
