He's had a really rough time with corona. We decided to take him to his apartment, which had been empty and was awaiting renovations, rather than send him to the corona ward. One of his caregivers agreed to stay with him 24/7. His fevers at times were quite high, but the amazing caregiver was able to keep them from being too dangerous by regularly giving him over-the-counter medications and vodka compresses. A neighbor who is a doctor in a corona ward brought over oxygen just in case and prophylactic antibiotics, which they give to corona patients in the wards. He needed oxygen once on Rosh Hashana, but not more. He didn't develop pneumonia but did have some coughing. So far, he has been fever free for 2 days. He's very weak, but seems better. We've been in quarantine so haven't seen him for two weeks.

The caregiver and doctors who took care of Nathaniel are really agents of Hashem/God. Without them, Nathaniel would have been much much worse.
