Fighting Parkinson's

Hello friends. Many of you know Thomas Stephany and the wonderful person he is. Tom has been recently diagnosed with COVID-19. He is in Albany Med and I will up...date you as things progress. I am attaching the update from Tom’s sister Marie. Please keep our friend Tom in your prayers. Many of you know my brother Tom has Parkinson's. He is 63. As of last Wednesday he was hospitalized with Covid. I was hesitant to post anything. I've been off Facebook for the most part but my brother sure could use your prayers. He was doing ok initially but began struggling more over the weekend with fever, cough, and needing more oxygen. In addition, aspiration pneumonia has complicated things. I'm waiting to hear if he was put on Remdesivere and plasma as I was told by the doctor that that would happen. I won't be able to answer a lot of questions but I will post if anything changes. Thank you.
