Please folks take

[Wellstone ruled]

precautions. Just got the worse call a parent can get. Oldest son is in ER for evaluation. Passed out at the Bus Stop with Chest pains and shortness of breath. Had a nasty cold couple days ago but with a possible carrier in house,who knows. His partners Mother came in contact with a Carrier two weeks ago and gave the grandson a ride home.

1. Hang on. Just hang on.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. I am so sorry! I hope he will be well!

[Ohiogal]

3. Oh, no.

Sending all my strongest wishes that he’ll be okay.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Will be getting a update in a few hours.

Thanks for the good words. Krone's and Diabetic .

[Ms. Toad]

55. Both in our family

Actually ulcerative colitis - but both are inflammatory bowel diseases. Diabetes - Type I or type 2?

(our child with UC and PSC - a comorbid liver disease) got the flu last week. But, of ccourse, our thoughts went immediately to COVID 19. Fortunately, her overactive immune system + tamiflu kicked it in the butt.

Is your oldest on one a biologic other than Entyvio? (Humira, Stelara, anything ending in -mab) My daughter is on Entyvio - which has less impact on the immune system.

62. Our Guy has been keeping everything under control

by his diet. Everything had been going great for almost ten years until today. And because he could not afford Insurance until his Employers became available,the diet thing was doing the trick . As you are aware,Insulin with out a Insurance plan,is like a Thousand Dollar or more a month Script.

As a Chef he has been able to do tons of replacement items in his diet,until apparently last night. Carbo overload,Southwest night at his house. Oops,but,he got lucky this time. Our Daughter and I have put a game plan into place,his States sponsored Insurance open for enrollment a couple weeks ago,did the on line app earlier and set up a Call for tomorrow morning to work out the payment schedule.

My guess is,there are several thousand people in the same leaky boat.

[Ms. Toad]

63. I'm keeping mine under control with diet, as well -

Not strictly keto, but few enough carbs that I don't exceed normal (non-diabetic) blood glucose. I've never taken insulin - but I grew up around people who needed it, and know several now. Many are getting by with the non-prescription stuff from Walmart.

I have insurance through work - but my daughter is a $200,000/year medical miracle. Her company went bankrupt in February - she was able to enroll via open enrollment and got a decent plan based on income. The challenge now is that she'll be on three plans within 5 months - which (with her medical expenses) means about $12,000 out of pocket (on an $18,000 income).

[Wellstone ruled]

64. Our Daughter just texted that she

had touched base with a fellow health care person back in Minnesota and it sounds like she found a source of free or dirt cheap Insulin,or a Insulin Substitute for the next few months. Nurses do have a ton of experience in creativity.

Will know more tomorrow.

TrDump said for three long months, it was only a hoax. We could have been doing mitigation and practiced battening down the hatches.

No he played golf,... and ejaculated his ego at his Fascist Nazi Rallies.

[RT Atlanta]

9. hoping your son is strong and that he will be stable and recovering soon enough

hugs from another parent!

[Wellstone ruled]

10. The Kid is

stubborn like his parents,and went to work sick because worry of his job. We all have made the move.

[cayugafalls]

11. My thoughts are with you. Be well. nt

[defacto7]

12. No matter how much you want to be with him

stay apart. Viral load could mean the difference... in everything.

[Wellstone ruled]

17. 1800 miles away,

his EMT and CNA training kicked in after he came too. He knew he was in some deep doo doo. Even though he does not use that skill set anymore,his training kicked in.

[defacto7]

18. I wish him strength and health. You too.

[Wellstone ruled]

35. Just got a text from the Kid,

his local Hospital only has a few test kits available and the ER Doc's are administering them to patients who are carrying a high fever. Fortunately no fever,chest X ray negative. His Diabetes blew up and caused him to pass out. Another one of the Young People Working for a Employer who does not offer Health Care. Just heard Minn Care is open for enrollment by the Governor in a effort to try and mitigate this disaster.

Thanks again for the good words.

[cate94]

57. Good news!

Not that diabetes is anything great. But I’m glad he’s going home!

[handmade34]

13. so sorry

[Sugarcoated]

14. I will hold him in the light🌟🌟🌟❤

Just know that many people who end up in the hospital with this pull through

[MissB]

15. I'm so sorry!

[malaise]

16. Damn

Hope h's OK soon

[Wellstone ruled]

37. On his way home.

Diabetes blew up on him,causing his blood sugar to go nuts. Another one of those young people who works a job without Insurance or insurance that has deductibles from hell . Because of Diabetes,his employer will not touch him.

[babylonsister]

19. Healing thoughts for him! nt

Please keep us updated.

[Wellstone ruled]

29. Just got a update from the Son.

Sitting in ER waiting for the Chest X Rays to come back. No fever and that is why they do not test. BTW,they only have a few Test Kits for a City of 8k+. ER Doc is pissed at Trump,how stupid does he think we are,only Rich people are getting tested. Direct comment from the ER Doc five minutes ago.

[OnDoutside]

30. Please accept my very best wishes for your son's recovery.

[TygrBright]

31. Holding him and you in the Light. Stay Strong.

You are not alone in this.

Let us know how it's going.

supportively,
Bright

[Wellstone ruled]

32. Have to thank everyone on this board for there

good words and thoughts. Just got the good news,he is heading home. His diabetes blew up on him. And because of a lack of health Insurance,which we are taking care off tomorrow AM,Minnesota has opened up MN Care and told him we will pick up the tab. Mean while he has a script for Insulin at 1300 a pop which we are covering,we still had a open account at the local Pharmacy from my Mother in Law twenty years ago.

Thanks again friends,we dodged a big one for sure.

[lunatica]

50. This is good news indeed!

Try to relax so your pounding heart can relax. News like this is akin to having a painful heart attack. Phew!

[SheltieLover]

60. So glad to hear!

No test kits! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Holdinh him & your family in healing vibes!

[onlyadream]

33. I'm so sorry...

41. Prayers

and more prayers ...

[Meowmee]

42. So sorry 🙏🏻 He is ok nt

[Wellstone ruled]

45. His Blood Sugars

went nutso. All the symptoms of Covid 19. ER Doc says,they have seen folks without fevers yet still testing positive. The Kid will recover and once his Insulin kicks in,he should be okay. No health insurance,script at the local Pharmacy is 1300 for one month supply.

[Meowmee]

48. Oh no so sorry he had that happen

He can maybe get help with the insulin from his doc, they often have free samples. I am glad he is going to be ok. I am type one and my bg is crashing all the time lately. It is unpredictable most of the time anyway but I have been sick, no test for covid but my wbc was ok so doc thinks it is not covid.

[Wellstone ruled]

52. Waiting for a call back,

we still have a open account from my Mother In law at the local Drug Store. Just for the Ha ha's ,called that Drug Store to price Insulin,ouch,but the Lady on the phone said,think you still have account with us.

So,we are making progress. Daughter called and has a Medical Rep who has samples also.

[Ms. Toad]

59. If it's insulin,

Walmart generally has cheap insulin. Not as convenient, but it works.

[MontanaMama]

43. Universe, hold this young man close.

So hoping you get good news.

[Bettie]

44. I hope he'll be OK

hoping for the best.

[mommymarine2003]

49. My sister's test came back positive today.

My sister has been sick since Friday. I urged her to get a test, and she took one on Monday morning in Spokane. She got the results this morning, and the test was positive. She is an asthmatic and is above 65. She is my only sibling, and I am very worried. It is surreal or unreal or whatever the right word might be when a loved one gets notified that they have this horrible virus.

[Ms. Toad]

51. Holdingyou and yours in the Light. n/t

[GeorgiaPeanut]

53. Wishing him a speedy recovery

He is young and probably has no coexisting conditions - he should do well.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

54. That is so awful

I hope he pulls through ok

[Docreed2003]

56. So sorry to hear this

You and your son will be in my thoughts. Please keep us posted as you can.

[BobTheSubgenius]

65. Just awful!

I really, really hope everything works out well for you and your family!

[Wellstone ruled]

66. Four hours later and

things are looking a heck of a lot better. No Covid 19 at this point and the Diabetes issue is calming down. Got the Blood Sugar level down to normal. Tomorrow Plan A kicks in. Nice to have a Nurse in the Family. Never knew she had that many contacts as to finding necessary medical needs.

Always said,she was smarter than her father.

[BootinUp]

67. Positive vibes on the way. Nt

[Wellstone ruled]

68. He is feeling a ton better as of a couple hours ago.

His main worry was his ER bill from yesterday.

[Mickju]

69. I'm happy to hear that!
