Brother in law tested positive for covid swab Saturday night 6/27 and believe he contracted it 6/20.
Currently undergoing chemo/immuno therapy at MD Anderson for multiple myloma (light chain). He wasnt symptomatic at first but developed a pretty bad cough yesterday with slight fever and general malaise. Today oxygen was 88-90 and dipped to 86 at one point and having trouble getting a deep breath. My sister is driving him to MD Anderson as they wont continue treatment but if he presented issues with covid they want to treat him @MDA directly.
Clearly we are going to listen to the doctors at MDA but i was hoping any doctors possibly chime in if there is anything we can pass along to them that might be of use...lots of texags ER and ICU doctors that have been on the front lines of this for months and while I dont want to step on anyone toes I think everyone's ultimate goal is to get the patient the best care possible.
*If anyone does have specific things they want to make sure MDA checks for how do we diplomatically go about explaining this to them without telling them his crazy idiot brother in law is on a Texas A&M football website and is telling them how to do their job?
