Prayers for you all.

You'll have many prayers from me. My son had ARDS; it was a hard fight, but he pulled through. The dialysis was just part of it.

ARDS is exactly what my mom has developed. The doctors and nurses are just puzzled as to how she got so sick so quickly and why this has hit her so hard.

Have they checked her for all the viruses including influenza?

So sorry and upset to hear this. Your mom and I participated on a few "college" threads together. Please know that I am pulling for her and praying for her.

Prayers for your Mom. That sounds like what happened to my Dad 9 years ago. (although we were never told he had ARDS) He just kept getting sicker and sicker while in the hospital with what started with pneumonia. There was another man who was going through the exact same thing at the same time as my Dad.. we got to know each other very well!! Both men recovered.. the other one completely.. My Dad had a lot of issues...but he was also being treated for cancer so he had other issues we had to deal with

I'm sorry to hear this. It must be a scary experience for all of you. I hope you start feeling better soon, Ugadog99.

Yes. And this is what is frustrating her care team because so far every thing they've tested her for has come back negative (flu, lupus, TB, etc). She's on 5 antibiotics and they are having to just treat it blindly basically.


But positive update this morning, they were able to turn down her o2 support from the vent down to 70% and her PEEP setting is now at 18 which is the lowest it's been and she's tolerating it well.
