NJ W&W family : Finally some good news updates: First my buddy continues to maintain and improve, today he is strong enough to begin the second set of experimental drugs and is %55 lung capacity, there is talk of removing him from the ventilator when he hits 60%. He remains partially sedated to keep him stable ( this is a BIG guy and they don't want him moving around yet), but all in all we believe we have turned the corner. Second his wife, son , daughter and 3 small children are all reporting feeling healthy and remain isolated as a family neighbors and friend are keeping them all well supplied. Lastly both the third member of our party and myself have been tested and at 12:43 pm today both of us are confirmed to be Negative! I have been reunited with my family and released from the man cave! I cannot find the words to express my thanks and appreciation for all the prays and well wishes offered , the out cry of support from every person in my life, and the support of the local community here in Boonton has been amazing. I will continue to update on progress. Again thank you all. Breathe in , Breathe out, Move on. Fester

My sincerest condolences

Wow that's amazing.

Thanks Paul, Day 9 in the cave and still feeling well. I got my first set of test results back everything is good or negative. Chest X-ray clear, blood work all ok, etc. I still don't have the #19 results , these should come Thursday. My buddy continue to maintain in ICU, no changes but also no deterioration so we remain hopeful. My condolences on Attila i was not aware, the three of us hunted together at the first NJHunter tower shoot. A beautiful pup. Breathe in , Breathe out, Move On. Fester,

Thanks All,

In the Bunker day 7 , I went to get tested yesterday , Medical Staff was amazing. Results back in four days...... All my good catholic school prayers are flying back into memory. Buddy is hold fast, lungs % 50 hope to take of ventilator tomorrow. As a precaution / precursor they gave me a script for Azithromycin to take until results are received. Breath in , Breath out, Move on Fester

So far so good he's on the anti malaria drug, they are hoping to put him on the other tomorrow.....nothing like being a gunnie -pig or choosing to live. reports keep getting better , going to sleep. check back tomorrow. Breathe in , Breathe out , Move on , Fester

Not trying to do a play by play here , but he's up to 40% oxygen intakes that's exciting , BP, heart rate , kidney and sugar ( he's diabetic) are all Normal, goal for next 24-48 hours + increase to 55% and remove the tube. As a result of all of this we have developed a new cocktail " Quarantine" ...... it's what ever you have beginning 5 pm>

Wallew, I know the felling , try to stay calm. Our return results took 5 days as well. Stay in touch with everyone it helps to spread the load and kill the time. Are you home alone and do you have support lined up?

Thank you sir.

Thanks All I'm 52 and in relative good health. My friend is 61 and has had numerous health issues his whole life. Third friend is 60 but he's in incredible shape . We have received word in the last hour that he is awake and talking for the first time in 3 days!! Breath in , Breath out , Move on Fester

Went Pheasant Hunting in PA last weekend IMG_0992.MOV IMG_0992.MOV IMG_0992.MOV The trip was great bag 13 of 16 birds and had a great time....... Now the BAD news ..... there were 3 in our group, we traveled, lodged , ate and drank together. Upon our return our most senior member was taken to the hospital on Monday , tested and sent home with phenomena, by Thursday things had turned much worse he was returned to the hospital and put in ICU on a ventilator. Friday morning we were notified that he is positive for COVID-19. His recovery remains slow but he is improving. Last night they put him on one of the new drugs and they hope to have him on the second , they are slowly decreasing his rate of ventilation to get some lung strength back. All very good signs. However, I sit here in tears knowing I may never see my best friend again, could die myself and my have infected my family and others. I'm am now TRULY in isolation ( thank god I have a man cave!!) I'm separated from my wife and daughter in my own home, and I can not tell you how extremely hard it is. We have all been monitoring temperature and symptoms and as of today myself , my family and 3rd hunting partner are feeling well and show no symptoms .On the calendar of things I'm now on day 6 of 15 before being allowed to return to society. As there are terrible roomers , stories and ongoing B.S. everywhere, I have been contacted by county and local officials and we are following the CDC guidelines very strictly. The local town Nurse has been an outstanding reference and help. She told me a press release would likely be released today. I don't post here often here ,but I do love the site and all of NJW&W family. Right now we can use all the thoughts and prayers you can afford. Stay Strong , Stay safe . stay the f*#k home!!
