We are of course here for you! Tomorrow perhaps you can sit in your car and call your closest confidant outside your husband? “Momma needs some me time,” grab a bag of chocolate and/or a stiff drink and take some time for yourself. You’ll have privacy and if you lose it you’ll be at home. Best wishes for your whole family. I did this this evening. And it helped. Conferenced a call with my two besties. Its not the same as a group hug and i know they are worried but it helped.

Just remember that a lot of people survive this. Your BIL is in the best place possible and your DH cannot GO....He cannot get in to see him at all. Let me ask you a couple questions scrappinghappy Is he on a ventilator? How long has he been in the hospital?? Keep yourself isolated for at least 14 days. No ventilator as far as we know and 48 hours. We are on day 11. We are hunkering down for the long haul. No plans to leave for months if need be. I saw this coming, and we are well stocked with almost everything we need for at least a month if not longer. I feel like a doomsday prepper. We might be eating nothing but beans and rice or quinoa. And for humor... we have two bidets thank you very much.

The local department of health should be contacting you both and telling you to self quarantine for 14 days. My grandma is currently in the hospital and has also tested positive. She’s in Texas and even my parents got a call in Oklahoma telling them they had to self quarantine for 14 days. None of my aunts and uncles came down with it and they were all in very close contact with her. I have one uncle that got a fever and a bad cough test a few days ago but we just got word that he tested negative. My grandma is in the ICU and on a vent. They are not letting anyone in. I even have a cousin that is a PA in the same hospital and she’s not even allowed in to see her. Hugs I know how completely scary and helpless feeling it is. I will add your family to my prayers. Ah, SabrinaP, I am so, so sorry about your grandma. I will send prayers for your grandma and your whole family. I know how you are feeling. we know the department of health called him, but don't know what they asked or what they were told. We certainly have not been contacted by them. They are probably completely overwhelmed.

scrappinghappy I am so very sorry. This is so frightening for you and your family. How did your BIL end up in CO? And anyone who is in the hospital because of COVID-19 is not allowed to have visitors. Which is so sad for those who are so sick and want to be with their family. I understand the way both of you are feeling and how each of you deal differently with situations. stormycat is right, if you are in PA, you should be on not only self-quarantine, but self-isolation. I am in Berks county and we are not under the rule of shelter in place. But we are doing exactly that and self isolating ourselves. Because we do not want to get it. I pray that your BIL gets better and that neither you, your DH or SIL come down with it. SabrinaP Sending prayers for your grandmother. Thank you. Seperate states due to family dynamics and we are in a third state. Illinois went into Shelter in Place the day after we saw them, we went further and basically shut ourselves up.

Man, this is so scary for your husband, his family and you. I am so sorry! Praying for your BIL!! It just scares the heck out of me that this could be more and more of us refupeas coming and saying these very things about our loved ones. Damn, I fucking hate this!!!! For sure. We have been lied to, are still being lied to. One of my besties is a physician. She is terrified, not for herself, but for all the friends she is going to lose.

I also am terrified for a loved one, and feel helpless and he’s a thousand miles away. He does not have the virus, but is in an area that is an epicenter, and because of previous lung cancer surgeries, and terrible COPD, he can’t already barely breathe.
The family i live with do not want to hear how concerned I am. So your post really resonated with me, I share your stress, and will not lecture you on being positive. Your feelings are very valid. I hope no one else in your family gets it.

I am really sorry. I hope he pulls through and you stay healthy.
The families I know who have dealt with this have found it difficult because, normally, you have people at the hospital getting info, and since families can’t go it, often the contact person is getting a call from a slammed PA once a day at a variable time.

Luckily he is still only on an O2 canula Take that piece of good news and hold on to it. He is NOT on a ventilator and that is a good thing.

Keeping you and your loved ones in my thoughts.
One of our family friends has currently 4 members of their family hospitalised with the disease, two on ventilators. It can take a long time to recover from it with daily back and forth changes like your BIL is experiencing. Even some patients with mild symptoms are reporting this better-then-worse-again "waltz." Don't give up hope! It's a long and bumpy road for quite a few patients. Hang in there.

scrappinghappy not the update you wanted to receive. (Hugs) I wonder if she is getting information piecemeal too, I assume she isn't allowed anywhere near him and may only be getting info when the staff get time to tell her. Is she on her own?
