That diagnosis must have been so worrying for you and your family Sam. Such a relief for you all that your wife and daughter are improving. Excellent news.
I like to see the recoveries figure that is shown with all the other figures on the news each night. Each country has their own ups and downs with this virus. Everything is crossed for flattening curve stats and the development of a vaccine.

Thanks for your wishes Batgirl but unfortunately we're not out of the woods yet. Our daughter has still been coughing and is getting pains in her side that indicate either a fractured rib or a collapsed lung. It has been going on for a couple of days now so got to keep an eye on her. If it is a rib then we can't do much aside from wait for it to heal but if it is the lung then it should right itself in one to two weeks. Any longer than that and we'll have to get her checked over.
We realise she's not had it as bad as others but we're now around three and a half weeks since she first started.
Sam.

I'm sorry to hear this Sam. It does sound like the effects of repetitive coughing. We all know how much it makes you ache when you have had a cough for a few days let alone 3 weeks. Every continuing good wish to you and yours mate. Stay safe.

Keep up a fuss if you don't think you're getting sufficient medical attention. I know they're busy but sometimes people get overlooked when they should have acted earlier and you have to be a bit pushy to get something done. I hate it when kids are ill.

Thank you all for your well-wishes once again. She's carrying on doing things as she normally would but gets the shooting pains down her side whenever she coughs so she's seeing it more of a hindrance than anything else. She's not coughing now quite as much as she was so hopefully it will start to ease sooner rather than later. Seeing the course of proceedings in our house over the past four weeks almost, speaks volumes about the effect that the virus has on people. We've still not had it confirmed whether we'd picked up the virus or not but have to consider that it has been and that we've got away with it lightly. Huge numbers have definitely been infected by it to a far greater degree and far too many succumbing to the effects yet even those that are managing to overcome the illness will be impacted by similar secondary and tertiary issues that we are now seeing, some of which could be debilitating but won't be reported or will be overlooked because of the focus naturally being the virus itself. Again I wish that all members and their families and friends stay safe, we're all being impacted one way or another but health is the priority so please all heed the guidance. Sam.

Sam, I just hope she is getting the very best treatment possible, and that very soon she is feeling a lot better. you and your wife will be extremely concerned. I hope there is an improvement in the next day or so.
This brings it home to us all how serious things are.

She's not coughing now quite as much as she was so hopefully it will start to ease sooner rather than later. I had very, very similar symptoms back in December / January - before all this broke. TBH, I had (what I thought was) a very bad cold, and for a short while after struggled to eat solids - as it was too painful on the chest, and also had the shooting pains too. I booked an appointment with the GP - on the morning of the appointment - It all suddenly vanished. The GP assumed I had pulled a few muscles when coughing etc and told me to keep and eye on it.
I am wondering if I unknowingly had the virus. Once these retrospective/anti-body tests are available, I will have one to see.
I hope your daughter pulls through. I hate it when kids get ill.
Keep us posted Sam!
