Aquatic_blue Garland-Green Sounds like a traumatic experience. If you want to talk about it I am available. smile I am happy that you survived the ordeal! heart Thanks 3nodding I am thankful to be here, too...that was a close call on Monday/Tuesday. I had a seizure Monday night and my husband hurt himself pretty badly getting my 2 year old out of the way before I fell. He felt terrible he wasn't able to catch me, but he put me in my bed. I wasn't responding to him, so he called my parents. I remember my dad putting a pulse oximeter on my finger to check my oxygen levels. I think they let me try and sleep it off, but the next morning I had 3 more seizures, they just weren't stopping so my dad called an ambulance and he was trying to explain to them that my oxygen levels were really low and he was an off duty paramedic, but it still wasn't helping things along too much. I only remember glimpses here and there of going to the ambulance and then the hospital. I couldn't even answer for myself, I'm glad my husband was able to get to the hospital and my parents stayed with the kids. Thankfully my husband knew hospital security because they were trying to have him escorted out of there when I did need him there since I couldn't answer for myself... Turns out I'm COVID positive, I'm still worried about my breathing troubles from time to time. I don't want to end up back at the hospital. My seizures were considered COVID induced and I have not felt clear headed since...it's awful. I can't smell a thing and my taste is impaired. I feel like I'm having auras like all day and it's terrible. I hope this passes soon. I have to go back on medication while I feel this way, if I have seizures like that again, it could kill me. I was so dehydrated that they pumped me full of 3 bags of saline at the hospital and I was barely hydrated. Just in a sorry state of health. I am more alert now, but still miserable. Sad that my holiday plans aren't going to be happening because I have the 'rona. It bites that we all have it, but I'm glad the kids aren't that miserable - they kick this thing pretty well. I'm terrified of dying from it, though. I have to take steroids and antibiotics to prevent lung infection...it stinks.
Wow! That sounds terrifying. I am glad you had professionals around that looked after you and made sure that you got the treatment you needed. Holidays are not really as important as being alive. I am sure people understand that you just can't participate. No one in my closest family has had it yet, but there was 4-5 people at work who had it. But it seemed to me that it was a lighter form of it. They were not so sick that they had to be hospitalized, and a few of them didn't even have a fever.
It is great that kids are so resilient. It is unlikely that your two year old will even remember that this happened, or that they had it. It does for some reason attack people differently, and kids do in general seem to be less affected.
We will pray for a speedy recovery for all of you. heart

Wow, I don't remember posting any of this surprised but in any event, I am glad to be here, too....I think...still trying to remember everything and readjust to life as it is super challenging.
I am glad that your co-workers didn't have some weird mutated strain like this...well, I assume this is more mutated, it's anything but light and the weirdest sickness I think I've ever had. It is good that the kids seem to have a mild fever, sneezing, coughing, runny nose, headache, but nothing more serious. It seems like the common cold for them. They seem pretty much over it now, though, and that's great - I don't want them to be suffering.
Thank you for prayers 3nodding
