Please Pray for my Wife!

Please pray for my wife Beth. We all tested positive for Covid February 1st. My wife has Interstitial Lund Disease so they gave her Paxlovid and she breezed through it for 3 weeks, but a week ago started having breathing issues. I took her to UT Southwestern Friday morning and they diagnosed her with Covid pneumonia. They have ran multiple antibiotics, put her on high flow oxygen and started high dose steroids and Remdesivir. Due to her being on immunosuppressants she never fully fought off Covid. She is on the Covid floor so I can only be with her via FaceTime or an app they have through their monitor. I truly believe in the power of prayer and sincerely ask you for all can send up. Thank You!!!!

Man, you have all my prayers. UTSW is a great hospital. If you ever need anything, I work nights in Dallas, if I can’t personally deliver it to you, I will have someone do so, I mean this, my number is in my Sig.

She's not on a ventilator yet, just high flow oxygen. She has been testing positive since Feb. 1st. She initially took Paxlovid which worked great but her being immunosuppressed the virus was replicating very slowly (we're told). We tried multiple things but still ended up at this point.

Thank You very much! I truly appreciate it. I'm home now. They won't let me on the Covid floor so I just have to communicate via FaceTime and an app UTSW has.

Thank You all for the prayers. I truly believe in their power. I just hope God will grant me the outcome She and I want.

Prayers up Sir.

As a life-long Catholic, a Christian, I can still offer an old-west prayer in multiple forms.
"God" and "The Great Spirit" can be one in the same.

Get well, Beth.

In the healing, in the hurting

Every minute, every moment
Where I've been or where I'm going
Even when I didn't know it
Or couldn't see it
There was Jesus.

I will bring it tomorrow and talk to her about it. She's a chemist with a masters degree so I will leave it up to her. I researched a lot the last couple days and ran a few things by her Dr's....They were already doing what I researched so I really feel She is in good hands and they are truly trying.

They put a line in her arm so they can give her convalescent plasma and tried putting an NG tube in to feed her but were unsuccessful, they'll try again tomorrow. They are doing everything they can to keep her off a ventilator. Thank You all so much for the prayers. I truly appreciate them for her!

My wife was on TPN feeding for 2 months after her pancreas surgery. Maybe an option. I'm sure the ICU folks are doing their very best. Continued prayers.

Prayers to you and your wife that the lord takes her by the hand and leads her back to you. Never give up hope. My wife's cousin was on a ventilator for 16 days and turned the corner when the doctors tried hydrochloriquin. (Spelling ) Stay strong my friend!

Beth is still about the same. Her oxygen is at 94% today but the bipap is at 100% and she isn't struggling near as hard to breathe today. They are going to try to put the NG tube in again today, they said she's too weak for any other option. She is just so immunosuppressed that her body isn't fighting the virus well. The doctors have her on a few antivirals and are trying to get approval to use another drug. They said she's just not producing enough antibodies right now. I ask for continued prayers for her Please. Thank You all so much!!!

Beth had a little better day today. They were able to remove her from the bipap and put her on the high flow oxygen nasal apparatus so she could drink and get some ensure in her. She's breathing easier today. The Remdesivir and other antiviral are working. The scary news is she's so immunosuppressed she's not producing ANY antibodies to fight the Covid. The team is trying to get permission from a company to get and use an infusion from them. I have been praying sooo much. I pray they can get the infusion and it works. Thank You all for the prayers so far!! If you can send more up now I would truly appreciate it!!!!

She got turned down today for the anaclonal antibodies. They want her off the ventilator and off the high dose steroids before they will let her get them. They are looking at other options but I'm frustrated. I have prayed harder than I ever have and I am continuing. Thank You!!

Praying for you and her.

Hang in there and use this thread to vent if you need to. Most doctors and nurses I have been around want whats best for you and your wife but many times there is too much red tape in the way for them to carry out procedures and treatments that they may want to explore. They are on your side so try not to lose your cool with them. Its most likely insurance or some other bureaucrat standing in the way.

I understand. The health care team has been great. We just need Glaxo Smith Kline to let her have the antibodies.

Prayers continue.

Continued prayers from my family!

God bless & God speed her recovery....

Took my Better Half to her GP on monday to see if her constant cough was for sure covid....Doc sez nope not covid !!! but she's got Pneumonia and we've caught it in time. We are both double vac'd & booster'ed. She had a followup at the local hospital this morning but called and was going by the Grocery store on the way home Thank You Jesus. I've got 55+ years invested with her and too old to start over with someone else.

Beth is heavily sedated. She had a rough night/morning. The Dr told us he feels she has a 20% chance for a positive outcome. They are allowing us to see her now. We get to see her from 10-12 and 4-6 every day. We just left the hospital and going look for a room now. They approved the antibodies today so they said probably Tuesday or so she’ll get that. It’s really tough right now. I appreciate all of your prayers!!! I really do.

More prayers for y’all!

Thank You all so much. I sincerely mean that!!!

Beth is heavily sedated and they have her on a paralytic to prevent her working against the ventilator. We get to see her from 10-12 and 4-6 daily. She’s had a few close episodes but they got her back stable. Still saying about a 20% chance of a positive outcome. I’m going to stay with her as long as I can. The hotel we’re at now gives us a UTSW rate but I may look for something else soon.

Where are y’all at sir?

We are in Dallas. Beth is in UT Southwestern ICU.

Prayers continue from our house

Those antibodies can't come quick enough. Are they still saying maybe Tuesday? Continued prayers for your family and hospital staff.

Same here.

Prayers for your Family.


Dear God,

We place our worries in your hands. We place our sick under your care and humbly ask that you restore your servant to health again. Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge your will and know that whatever you do, you do for the love of us. Amen.

Thank You all so much. I truly appreciate you all.

Prayers for Beth, you and your family.

Continued prayers for both Beth and yourself.

Hang in there Cass.

2 Corinthians 12:8, Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Prayers for all concerned.

Many many prayers up for both of you.

You have a strong team here praying for you. Have confidence in Him.

Beth is critically stable today. We just visited her and will be back at 4. They are talking about putting a tracheotomy in soon. Still praying for a positive outcome.

Continued prayers for your wife, you and family Sir.

I walked down this road late last summer, so I probably know a lot of what you're feeling and going through, it will test you in many ways, prayers for strength and healing.

Excerpt from an article that may be worth bringing up to the Doctor, I was told the antibody RX was most effective if administered during the 1'st 7 days after onset of symptoms, but each case is somewhat different.

"The singular focus on vaccines meant that little attention was paid to lifesaving therapeutics. For example, Paxlovid is an antiviral medication that reduced COVID deaths to zero in the clinical trial, yet not enough has been produced. Fluvoxamine, an $10 anti-depressant medication that has been available for years, was found in two reputable studies to reduce COVID death, up to 91% in the latest study (no study suggests it’s not effective). Yet, few doctors are aware of these data because our public health officials have never talked about Fluvoxamine."

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/10-biggest-covid-mistakes-americans-apology-dr-marty-makary

Thank You for that. I will show the Dr tomorrow. I understand my wife is an unusual case. She had the Rituximab infusion in December to slow her autoimmune (Wegener’s) disease. Therefore She isn’t producing any antibodies to the Covid. The monoclonal antibodies may help her because of this. She should have been given the antibodies when she first tested positive but we didn’t know at the time and I assume the Dr’s didn’t either. Thank You for everything.

I continue to pray for not only a positive outcome for Beth, but also for your strength and patience. Though your situation is different with covid, my wife's struggle with cancer draws many similarities with treatments and emotions. Don't give up hope. The good lord provides.

I understand. I will keep your wife and you in my prayers also. Thank You!!

Continuing prayers for your wife and your family.

Thank You all so much again. Beth’s day had a setback this morning but they got it under control. I had an issue with the hotel, they had booked up for the market people so didn’t have rooms. They moved a person to their sister hotel which allowed my Daughter and I to keep our room so glad that worked out. I appreciate you all!!!!

Cass, I'm sorry that I had not read this thread earlier. I woke up at about 4 this morning, and could not fall back asleep, so got on here and ended up reading this whole thread from the beginning. Maybe God woke me up because he wanted me to read this. Anyhow, our family was in a similar situation about a year and a half ago. My Brother-in-law's brother, who is ironically my wife's cousin's husband was in the hospital for over 100 days with Covid. He ended up on ECMO for 99 days if I recall the numbers and dates correctly. We prayed like we had never prayed before, and he eventually recovered. He talks funny now (vocal chord damage from the trach and ventalator), but otherwise is back to normal. If I recall, at one point, they had given him a 20% chance as well. Just to let you know, people do go through what you are going through, and come out the other side. Don't give that 20% thing much weight.

Lord, I pray for you to heal Beth. Lord, please give her and Cass the strength for the long haul. I know this is a long road, and I pray that you help Beth and Cass along the way. In Jesus's name we pray. Amen.

Thank You so much!!

Beth’s numbers were a little better today. The ventilator was on 70% and she maintained 99% oxygen. Her blood pressure was better with less meds. Her breath rate was higher but normal for her with her reduced lung capacity. Still working on getting something to fight the Covid. Dr seemed minutely happier and said he’s looking at doing the tracheotomy later this week if her numbers stay ok. Thank You all again.

Sounds better, praying for complete recovery for Beth and strength for Cass.

Come on Mrs Beth! We are rooting for you. More prayers sent!

again on the way.

The ventilator was set on 70% this morning and Beth was maintaining 99% oxygen. They turned the ventilator down to 65% this evening and Beth was maintaining 92-93% oxygen. They reduced her blood pressure meds even more and her blood pressure was stable. They took her off the paralytic and so far so good. Her heart rate went down to normal (84) when I visited this morning, then went up when I left. It went down again this evening when We visited so the nurse said she senses us there. The infectious disease Dr met me this evening and I signed the consent form for the monoclonal antibodies. She thinks within 2-3 days she'll clear all hurdles with the FDA and they'll do the infusion. She said she's as hopeful as we are that they will help. Baby steps again today but in the right direction.

Baby steps sounds good continued prayers for Beth

Daily prayers for Beth

Baby steps in the right direction sound great sir.

More prayers for her, you, and all who are helping her.

That's great news Cass.

Still in my thoughts and prayers.

Continuing prayers. Sounds like the steps are in the right direction.

Well today Beth took a few steps back. She developed a tear in her right lung and it collapsed. They inserted a chest tube and everything was stable.

Another prayer sent for you, your wife, your family, and the medical staff, and that your wife continues to improve, even if it's just a little bit, everyday until she can safely return home.

Prayers sent!

Beth was stable today. Ventilator on 75% and oxygen was maintaining 96%. The right lung looked like it is healing they said. Everything was stable......Again, She just has to get something to fight the Covid!!!!!

Stable is a good thing. Need those antibodies. Continued prayers!

Prayers

Prayers for Beth and her/your family from ours. Prayer for the doctors and staff.

I just don’t understand this. What are they saying is the reason she can’t get the monoclonal antibodies? Makes ZERO sense to me. I get that they try and keep them for serious cases and people that have other underlying issues… but if anyone is a candidate, I’d say she 100% is!

Is it the hospital that’s not giving them? Or is it bigger than that?

Ask your doc if another company could come in and administer them to her. I have heart issues, so I guess I qualified and my doc used a 3rd party company who actually drove to my house and administered the antibodies to me. Ask her doc if he/she can get a company like that to come in for her.

We are sure praying for you guys!

The way I understand it is Fauci and the NIH gave guidance forbidding them to be administered once a patient is hospitalized.

I’d still ask your doc about it Cass. I got mine 2 or 3 days after I was home from the hospital

I will ask. With her being so serious in the ICU it complicates it.

Everything today was about the same. They are trying to very very slowly wean the sedation down. She got moved to a non isolation so we can see her anytime we want now which is really nice. Thank You all again so much!! I truly appreciate you all!!

Glad she got moved so you can see her. Prayers for Beth, you and the medical team

What a blessing. Continued prayers for Beth, you, and the medical team...praying for a full recovery!

Praying for Beth!

Continuing to pray.

Very glad you can now go see here any time.

Continued prayers.

Beth got approved for the monoclonal antibodies this morning and they did the infusion around lunchtime. They are going to do the tracheostomy tomorrow morning to make it a little more comfortable for her. Everything else is pretty much the same today, just weaned a little sedation down and blood pressure meds down a little. Thank You all again so much!!!

Continued prayers

Prayers continue

Hallelujah...God is great!! Such wonderful news. Bet she'll feel the difference by tomorrow. Best wishes for everyone involved. Continued prayers.

So glad they approved the antibodies...Hoping they do the trick and she starts to feel better in the next few days!

Thank God.

I pray the antibodies do there job and fight off the virus.

They did the tracheostomy this evening. It went well. She is maintaining oxygen with the ventilator. Thank You all again!!

Praying for you sir

Continued prayers!

Everything was stable today. They didn’t really want to make any big changes today after the surgery yesterday. The ventilator is set at 75% and her oxygen is bouncing 93-94.

Prayers still heading your way.

Continuing to pray for Beth's recovery.

Great to get positive news.

Healing and peace.

Continuing Prayers for yall.

Again, prayers!

Beth had a little setback last night. Her oxygen dropped and they had to increase the ventilator. Her blood gasses went down so the upped the nitric oxide. They got everything back in line this evening. Ventilator is at 70% and oxygen is 93%. I’m probably going to start staying at hospital full time Monday and just finding a gym or somewhere to shower (hospital doesn’t have a guest shower). That’s if she’s stable, if not my Daughter doesn’t want to leave. I’m just trying to drop the hotel if possible.

More prayers for Beth's healing.

Yes. In that special name.

Amen

Continued prayers

Yes Sir!

This!

Still praying for her and you!

Beth had a stable day today. The ICU Dr said from his experience she may be at this plateau for a week or two then her lungs will either show improvement or decline. I’m praying hard for improvement. Thank You all for your prayers and everything. I appreciate you all.

Continued prayers for help and strength.

We're right there with you CassCounty.

Beth’s ventilator and oxygen numbers are about the same. She has gotten a resistant bacteria in her urinary tract. The Dr’s are giving her high dose antibiotics for it now. I took my daughter home yesterday and transitioned to staying in her room full time now (hotel costs got outrageous). I’m looking for a gym to shower once a day now. Thank You all so much for the prayers. We truly appreciate you all!!!!

Beth’s oxygen and ventilator numbers are about the same…I’m glad no worse. The infection turned out to be a resistant bacteria in her ut. Her white blood cell count is trending down so they think they got on it quick enough and with the targeted antibiotic. Her CO2 in her blood is too high now which is what they are focusing on.

Thank You all so much for the prayers. I truly appreciate you all!!!!!

Still praying multiple time every day.

Beth's oxygen and ventilator settings were the same today. Her CO2 is still elevated. They are concerned about the number of days she has been sedated but can't lower sedation until they can come down on the amount of support from the ventilator, and she breathes against the ventilator when they reduce the sedation. They are going to try a few different medications to see if they help.

Prayers for your wife and you and especially that the medical team finds the magic treatment that will allow your wife to get better.

Prayers today as well

So sorry you guys are still battling this. Prayers for all.
