When bad days get worse

incredibly sorry to hear that. Devastating news.

 

Not much I can add to this post, I echo every sentiment by the beautiful B.B.S. c'mon lass, feight. X

 

Anything under 95% is cause for concern if I remember correctly, but if she's moved from 86% to 90% already that can only be a good thing. My wife's aunt was admitted with sats of around 80%, and that was over a year ago, when they were only just getting to grips with what to do with patients in that state. She's got all manner of health conditions but she's still with us. I'm sure the level of care your wife's receiving is outstanding.

 

Best wishes @DannyWilsonLovechild
I am sure she will be in great hands.

 

Ok, she is clearly being well looked after in hospital so make sure you are looking after yourself too.

 

Hope your wife has had a more settled night and that things continue to improve.

don’t be too hard on yourself, you’re not responsible for this.

 

I've been limiting my BBS visits recently, but just seen this. Hope she makes a full recovery - and the signs are hopeful - but it could be a long road ahead so lean on us if you need support at any point.

 

Not much more I can add to what the grand folk of the bbs as already said other than to say my thoughts are with you and your family mate, hopefully everything turns out ok for you all ,

 

Look after yourself @DannyWilsonLovechild too, I can't add anything more to what's already been posted, but thinking of you both and wishing you both much more positive news in the coming days and weeks.

 

Hoping & praying for a speedy recovery, stay positive.
Is she in St Thomas's? If so she's in good hands.

 

Praying that both you and your wife have had a better night and that your wifes oxygen levels have increased.
Healing thoughts sent

 

Keeping everything crossed for you and your wife, for better days to come.

 

Been through it misen mate, I know how you are feeling.

 

Everybody’s with you both, hope there’s improvement soon.
I understand the guilt. I went through the guilt complex and still do, coming through a brain bleed when others don’t. I learned that you have to accept that you couldn’t do anything about anything that happened, just be there for her.

 

Best wishes.

 

I thought it best to give an update given all the kind hearted messages in this thread and the numerous private messages I've received too.

Getting information and contact has been quite difficult and infrequent, until the last 24hrs or so where I've been contacted numerous times by the hospital.

The nutshell is that after a few ups and downs, she seems to be on the road to recovery. They are hoping to discharge her from ICU to a covid ward during tomorrow and once they do that, they are going to arrange that I can have a video or phone call with her. I think at that point I'll feel that I believe she will be ok, but obviously feel wary being too optimistic until I can see the difference from Sunday with my own eyes.

I just want to thank everyone who's taken time out to write something, and just show any little glimpse of compassion. It's really quite humbling and thank you just doesn't seem to have enough weight to it to express how I feel.

But thank you.

Aside from that, I want to make a plea to you all. And what I ask is likely selfish and probably will be quickly forgotten. Covid hasn't gone away. And may well morph again, who knows. And irrespective of the variant, there are some people who are always going to be susceptible to it. I don't ask you to water down your life, I hope everyone can live theirs. Be fulfilled, be happy. But also be responsible. If you see someone who is wearing a mask, consider wearing one yourself. In particular, if you see someone steering to give distance as you walk by, try and do the same, and as you pass, consider turning your face so you don't breath in their direction.

The world may seem the same for all of us, but sadly it no longer is, so please just try and be mindful that is the case and try and do everything you can to allow those less fortunate to be part of society.

One final comment. This site can be an incredible place. This thread is evidence of that. But all too often we nip at each other. We "play the man/woman" when there is no need. We're all flesh and bone. We're all Barnsley fans and we all want the club to be successful and the football on display to be enjoyable. When you're posting, try to remember that.

 

That sounds really positive news. Won't be long until you can talk to her again and as you say that will hopefully make it more realistic for you

 

Brilliant news Danny. My fingers are crossed hoping your wife’s improvement continues and she makes a full recovery.
I fully endorse everything you said about this absolutely horrid disease.

 

Thinking of you at a tough time, glad to hear that your good lady is making progress in her recovery. Thoughts and prayers are with you
