Re: Papa lost his battle to COVID-19 today ~ prayers needed for my family
With a broken heart I share the news of the passing of my grandfather (papa) due to COVID-19 complications. My family is so devastated right now and we all need some prayers.

Due to the current restrictions, this incredibly wonderful man died without any of us being able to be by his side. That part hits me the hardest. My nanny (grandmother) is shattered. They were together since they were 13 years old. They were just as in love now as they were then. They were the perfect example of true love. Nanny has been sleeping with one of his t-shirts while he has been in the hospital.

heartbreak

A little history...

Papa started having symptoms on Monday, March 23rd. By Thursday, March 26th the symptoms had gotten bad and my nanny had to call 911. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he was admitted and officially tested for the virus. He tested positive.

Nanny had given me papa's online patient portal login information while he was in the hospital which is why I have access to that above screenshot.

Friday, March 27th they had to put him on oxygen and by Sunday, March 29th he was on a ventilator. There have been so many ups and downs since the 29th. Even more so in just this past week. But today the doctor said papa's body had stopped fighting and that they were going to take him off the ventilator as there was nothing more they could do for him. He said it wouldn't be long after papa came off the ventilator, and he was correct sadly. Papa passed away within hours. They said they kept him sedated and comfortable.

Papa didn't deserve this painful, lonely death. He was 78 years old, mostly healthy. He has a great-grandson being born in July (my sister's baby).

I just ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers. This is so very hard. Even harder because we can't be together during this time. :(

For Papa

The Pachelbel Canon

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

and a short poem

One Sad Song

One sad song,
To mark the time you walked this stormy shore.
A candle lit, to light the path,
To travel on no more.
A flower picked to scent the room,
Perhaps a small bouquet,
A few words said, a little prayer,
To send you on your way.
What marvelous things by Grand Design,
We have them all through Grace,
That you should to that Fair Land fly ,
and see HIM face to face.

Just the other day i was googling ventilators just to see what they look like and other things. It did say they could harm you. Also it said and I don't know what date it was written, by the time you get on one, you are going to die.

There is something else they have been putting people on. It was a 4 letter something that gets the oxygen thru out the body directly. You can have this and the ventilator. There is a man a younger person from broadway that has a small baby that was reported by his wife on onlline news that had this and it stopped the 4 letter machine, but was caught in time to get infection out of leg. I have not heard how he has been no News.

Trump said yesterday there are some newer ventilators that are ordered and coming in...

Could you tell me if your grandpa had any underlying problems like diabetes, etc.? I am getting close to his age and are really worried I get this.

OH Tom Hanks wife said she had a bad reaction to Trump's medicine and got vertigo. I know I got it after lying in a dental chair for so long. She is blaming it on his Medicine. And her symtoms like the CHILLS and aches 102 temp, I believe I may have had the same thing she had way back in DEC. 2019.

I AM so sorry about your Grandfather. Forgive me for asking questions, but on the news they don't ask the right
questions.

My heart breaks for you and I’m so, so terribly sorry for your loss. I know no words can take the pain away but your Papa is out of pain and he still sees everything you and your family does - he will see that great grandson, rest assured.

Death isn’t the end; death seems so final but he’s just on to the next place and he’ll meet you all when you get there, too.

I send you my love and I’m thinking of you. I know I’m a complete stranger but my heart aches for you. RIP PAPA.

Re: Papa lost his battle to COVID-19 today ~ prayers needed for my family
I am sorry for your loss. However, I'm suspicious of the diagnosis because EVERY DEATH COMING OUT OF A HOSPITAL NOW HAS COVID-19 LISTED AS THE CAUSE. All doctors worldwide have received instructions as to how to put covid-19 as cause of death no matter what the patient dies of.

Also, every hospital gets $13,000 per patient that "tests" positive for C-19 and an additional $39,000 per patient that tests positive that goes on a ventilator. And since no one ever survives the ventilator, they get to up the death number one more time.

Minnesota Senator Dr. Scott Jensen has exposed all of the above.

So, because of all the hospital shenanigans, THIS is why they don't allow family in...something I would NEVER comply with EVER, btw. No one is ever going to keep me from being by the side of a family member who is dying. However, they do this so family members won't see what is going on.

Your Papa was a good candidate for the scam but because he was healthy and only 78, I don't believe for a second that it went down as they say. What a shame and I am sorry;(
 Quoting: thepatrioticgirl


FYI: he is diagnosed with Covid shortly after going into the hospital, I think, but not positive, before the ventilator was used even.
 Quoting: WhiteAngel


Yes, the way it all happened was he was diagnosed by phone on Wednesday, March 25th based on his symptoms. The following day he was hospitalized and they gave him the official stick up the nose test that day (the 26th). His result came back positive on the 28th and he got put on the ventilator on the 29th because his oxygen dropped to 83%.

Re: Papa lost his battle to COVID-19 today ~ prayers needed for my family

the clots in the lungs returned ...5 days of hc is the minimum but the damage may have already been done before he even got on the vent. Did they lay him flat with hi flow o2...its the most recent attempt that seems to work but only if enough of the lung is still getting bloodflow..but once the lungs are clotted its pretty much a lost cause.
 Quoting: Simple27


As far as I know he was on his back. They were able to get the ventilator settings down to the point where he was breathing more on his own than with the machine. They said they were going to keep working with the settings to try to get him off of it. That was just a few days ago. Then suddenly they had to turn the settings up which turned into this. They said his body wasn't fighting anymore. It really doesn't sit well with me.
 Quoting: bcjams


the 180 degree prone position seems to reroute the blood to unblocked areas ..45 degrees doesnt reroute..normally on vents we keep them at 30-45...and yes sometimes the body runs out of bullets,..ie the wbc counts and attendant wbc growth indicator labs...they only last so long ...also it seems the hc drugs work best before the need for intubation...the learning curve is pretty steep and we only have really figured this out in the last week. and even then there is still learning going on...but the real take is that blood is clotting before it reaches the airsacs ....prone reroutes to open airsacs but that doesnt mean those routes cannot be closed by clotting..

So very, very sorry Simple..What a horror this is..There are no words...

My next-door neighbor lost her son-in-law to this yesterday and to make things worse if that is possible, she is in quarantine, her daughter (widow) and their two girls are also quarantined...so there is no one to commiserate with. Each one alone with their thoughts and sadness.

I believe he is being cremated today, no last minute goodbye, kiss or hand being held..The only good thing was the kindness of a doctor who using her cell-phone permitted the family to talk to him..though unconscious he could hear...she said..The younger daughter's birthday was yesterday...Sigh...

I agree with the statement above...Whoever unleashed this has to be eliminated from the face of the Earth.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25523423


I did a lot of reading on ventilators too, when papa was put on one. It scared the shit out of me. Every single second for the past 3 weeks I had been in fear of that phone call that I received yesterday.

That 4 letter machine you're referring to is the ECMO. He wasn't on one of those machines. They were talking about doing a tracheotomy because those are easier to come off of than the ventilator and won't damage the lungs, but everything went downhill really fast after that conversation and that never happened.

Regarding underlying conditions, I had thought that papa had diabetes but I was WRONG. He did not have diabetes (nanny does). The only thing going on with papa was a history of kidney stones.

Possibly important to note, one of papa's biggest symptoms was diarrhea. Really bad belly. As well as all of the more common symptoms.

I don't mind answering questions that may help others.
