This makes my back to back colonoscopys last week look pale in comparison.

Not such good days this week. Wednesday and Thursday and continuing today my last surviving Sibling out of 5 my youngest Brother in Birmingham Al got confirmation he has Covid on Wednesday then my sister-in-law who has severe chronic bronchitis tested positive yesterday and their doing a antibiotic Infusion on her this morning still awaiting how it's going. If that's not enough DS who has a substance abuse problem came home last evening disrupting DW and I to no end. So hoping and praying today will be better but DB and Sister-law are both in that critical point. My brother also has heart issues Ventricular Tachycardia. So a very trying time for DW and I.

They had both been so careful and their son came by to visit 10-15 days ago from a trip and hugged them unknowingly having the virus and 2-3 days later tested positive along with his wife as well so that's how they contracted it. Who knew.

Thank you for any kind thoughts and prayers if you're a praying person. 😔🙏

    Praying for you and your family, Derrick.

    Being so close to Atlanta, I'm hoping there are family support groups similar to Al Anon that meet virtually right now that you and your wife might turn to for support.

    Derrick - sorry to hear about those challenges. I’ll avoid platitudes and aphorisms and just say I know you’re capable of dealing with this. Doesn’t mean it’s fun or fair, though; I get that.

    Thanks to all of you for your kind words and thoughts. I have been in constant contact with my brother and sister-in-law and they are hanging in there. Haven't checked on them yet today but they are getting close to winding up that 72 hour critical period. As of yesterday late sister-in-law is having the most difficult time with it. Their still both at home and not in the hospital. So thankful for that.
