OH YES HE DID!

 Good morning all!  While off to a shaky start, 2022 is looking up.  From yesterday morning, over night, and even now, Einstein has had NO supplemental oxygen and has been maintaining a normal O2 level on his own.  He still has a way to go to get his strength back, but he's out of the woods.  

As I've mentioned, our doctor is and was phenomenal through this whole ordeal.  In our opinion, it was his quality of care that kept our son out of the hospital, and I would be even so bold as to say; alive.  I can't thank him enough.  

I've forwarded, with his permission, the list of over the counter supplements to friends and family currently dealing with their own covid cases, and, I'm sorry to say, without adequate medical care.  My sister commented that he was treating half of Georgia!  I texted him this and he responded that was perfectly fine.  For that reason, I'm going to post that list here for anyone to use.  These are supplements bought over the counter. 

 Do with it what you will.  

VITAMIN C 3000 MGS DAILY -(We divided it up into three 1000 mgs doses per day)

VITAMIN D 3 WITH K 2-  5000 IU A DAY. We bought ours at Amazon IT'S ONE PILL

ZINC 100-200 MG DAILY - divided into 2 doses a day

QUERCETIN- 250 MG DAILY-  this helps the Zinc work better.  Again, we got ours at Amazon it;s one pill

ASPIRIN- 325 MG DAILY-  This is one adult strength tablet

PEPSID- 40 MG TWICE A DAY-  He did write a prescription for this only because the prescription strength was cheaper than buying that much over the counter.  It isn't for stomach issues.  It's immune support

MAGNESIUM- 500 MG A DAY- one pill

MELATONIN- 6 MG AT NIGHT- This isn't for sleep.  It's immune support.

B COMPLEX- DAILY- one pill

***SLEEP ON THE SIDE OR BELLY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

*** ADD 1 TSP OF PEROXIDE TO A 1.5 OZ BOTTLE OF SALINE NASEL SPRAY.  USE THE SPRAY IN EACH NOSTRIL THREE TIMES A DAY

***GARGLE WITH A 1-1 RATIO OF WATER AND PEROXIDE THREE TIMES A DAY

*** GO TO THE ER IF THE O2 FALLS BELOW 94 OR RESPIRATORY RATE IS GREATER THAN 20

*** DON'T HAVE AN INCENTIVE SPIROMETER?  That's the little thing the hospital gets you to blow into to make the ball rise to the top.  You don't need one.  Buy a bag of balloons.  Blow them up and let the air out.  Repeat.  Works like a charm and you're entertained as well(smile)

We ordered an Oxygen monitor for about $15 at Walmart.  Worth it. 

These are the things our doctor told us to do in addition to prescriptions he wrote.  Hope this helps
