I know he received the bolded, plus a steroid that I can't recall and I don't have my notes nearby.
Yesterday was a wild ride - the dumbass sent my mom a video about Remdisivir being a "murder drug" at 1:30am and demanded that treatment be discontinued.
Luckily, we were able to reach out to his PCP who he likes and trusts, who advised him to get back on it. Up until that point, he's been denying how sick he really is, even though every doc that speaks with him tells him he's critical.
Also learned that he's not on 6L of O2, he's on an Optiflow treatment which was at 85% flow - I misunderstood that he was at 85% SpO2 - they've since jacked the flow wide open and it's at 100% and 60 LPM.
Trying to stay positive, but it's gonna be a miracle if he makes it.
