Update
I've been admitted with pneumonia in both lungs. I was severely dehydrated, and exhausted. They game me plenty of fluids and it has gave me good energy. Still hard to breath, but energy will help. I haven't slept in 5 days still.
My wife, weirdly does not have pneumonia, but breathing will not stabilize on room air, she has to be on high flow Oxygen just to keep her at normal levels.
We are just down the hall from each other, and they have let us see each other and visit a while, but that's just up to the nurse at the time. But we are thankful they let us.
My kids are doing good, they are with my mom, they are just scared because they are too young to really understand what is going on. My 8 year old thinks, because of the way media handles things, if you get covid, you die. But my 4 year old, because he is 4, "they are just sick, they will be fine." Lol...
Anyway, I appreciate the concern and the prayers. Even though I have probably never knowingly met any of you, you are special to me. You are a part of my family to me. I dont care if I disagree with everything you post, I love you. I would do anything for you. When we get over this, I'm gonna plan something special, maybe a big tailgate and we all get together one game.
ROAR LIONS!!!

I’m glad y’all can see each other a bit and that your kids are safe. I told my mom yesterday on the phone that I was very concerned about you even though we’ve never met. She lives in Zip City and I told her I thought you lived in Central. Big HS rivals between those two areas of course. Lol. Please keep us updated!!!

I know you aren't doing "well", but it sounds like you guys are stable at least. Hopefully in a few more days you have both kicked this thing's butt. This especially hits me hard since I know we're about the same age. With this virus though, you just never know how it will affect you. Keep letting us know how things are going, when you feel up to it of course.

Biggest rivalry in the Shoals, (voted by a panel in the TimesDaily a few years ago) Anyway, my wife's condition keeps deteriorating.... if she dont improve soon, we are looking at the ventilation system. That scares me to death. But my vitals are getting worse as well, but not as rapidly, my worries are probably keeping me down.

Yes, I went to Wilson until 8th grade as did most of my cousins but some of them went to Central. Family gatherings during football season were always fun growing up. LOL. I'm so sorry to hear about your wife. I hope her breathing improves very soon!!

Thanks for the updates. We will keep praying for all of your family and also for the doctors and nurses. I imagine the kids are confused, most adults are too. Try to think about all the offensive football explosive plays we had last year....no wait that will leave you with 23 hours 59 minutes of trying to think about other stuff. Think about your top 2 players at every position from football to basketball to baseball for the Lions....and go.

I was hoping we'd have an update from Brandon. I pray they're both okay.

My wife has improved a little since yesterday... still not great, but has better color and had about 7 hrs of sleep that she desperately needed.
Myself, am about the same, just trying to maintain. We have a long road. I do keep up on here to keep my mind in a decent place, so please dont stop posting UNA stuff. It helps my morale....
Thanks for everything

Yesterday was looking good for my wife... today she has taken a step back.
She is really struggling today, and it has me worried to death. Hopefully it's just part of the process.
Thanks to you all for the thoughts and prayers, you dont understand how much yall mean to me...

Hate reading that information, we will keep lifting your family up. How’s the food and do you have a favorite flavor of jello?

Brandon, I have seen a lot of talk that with COVID, symptoms can be a roller coaster. So like you said, hopefully this is just part of the process and a "bad day" but things will start trending better soon.
I know several people in the Shoals area now that have it or are getting over it. Please everyone be safe there, or wherever you are.
