Hi all,


Still no positive/real negative news to report. We all are very tired, very dizzy-have no sense of taste or smell. We feel like we have temperatures, but when we check-it doesn't read high...weird!


It's very easy for me to sleep, but Lynn and Holly are having a more rough go-still... with the body aches/bone aches, etc.



Thanks everyone for continuing to reach out. Hopefully the symptoms start to subside...since it's been a week now. :(

Thanks for the update. Especially concerned for Holly with the transplant. Good to hear she is holding her own too.

X2!

Blythe Covid-19 update 12/7/2020-




We are all starting to turn the corner I think. My sense of smell and taste is slowing coming back. Body aches are mostly gone for me-still very tired.




Holly and Lynn have more consistent congestion than I do-though mine comes on quickly. Still very tired, though.




Had a video tele-medicine deal with Mayo a few minutes ago. They will delay all of Holly's heart/kidney studies until late January early February-as these are important-but not medically necessary at this juncture-and Mayo is filling up with Covid patients.




We asked if Holly will get the Covid immunization and Mayo still isn't 100 percent positive that doing that is the right thing to do at this point-so they are holding off on answering that for now. They say now that we've had Covid-we should have an immunity for at least 3 months (based on the data they have now).




The doc thinks that we could still feel lousy for at least another week...




Finally-Mayo is sending a phlebotomist to our house to draw Holly's blood for the blood draws to check her immunosuppression levels - I wonder if they know the person has to get here really early...LOL?

Seems to be hangin' on longer for you three than people I know who have gotten it. STILL, if you are getting better, that's the silver lining and, hopefully, all y'all will be back up and running in a couple weeks.



Fingers crossed that Holly's blood work comes out good.


We're very lucky that we are only 90 miles from Mayo, Rochester, but trying to get in for anything other than an emergency right now is near impossible.

Hang in there Bruce and family.Good wishes and thoughts sent your way.

Praying that our Lord has his hand on you and family!!

You guys keep on fighting Bruce! You're are my motivation now. I just found out that I'm positive with covid-19 today and may be asymptomatic. I have no symptoms at this point and feel perfectly fine. My sinuses are a little irritated due to the deep q-tip they used to test me. I'm sure I got it from my boss who tested + yesterday (Sunday) morning. I'll see how it goes.

Take care Mark.Good luck.
