Weak

My infected family member had a first dose of Remdesivir yesterday. If there was going to be any bad reaction, it would happen right away, so they were monitored immediately after administering it. Nothing bad happened 🙌

I spoke to them on the phone this morning for the first time since they went into the hospital Wednesday. On Wednesday they sounded fine, but today they sounded so weak and tired, and kept coughing. They said this was the worst sickness they'd ever had. But the doctor told them this is how it typically is, so I guess whatever's happening is expected. They were too tired to reply to texts, and were barely able to speak without losing oxygen, but it was easier to call me and have me update everyone than to text back all the people who were checking on them.

Yesterday's updates were all very positive, but after hearing how they sounded today, I'm very concerned. Hopefully they just put all their energy toward healing. The next dose of medication will be this afternoon, and it's a five-day course of treatment.
