everywhere these days. My son had Covid. Even before we knew it was Covid, I was not allowed in the ER. I took him to the ER on 3 different occasions over a month. He was admitted twice. All 3 times, I was not allowed inside with him. It was difficult, I totally get what you are going through. I have been at my son's side for every other medical emergency in his life.

Take heart in the fact that your wife is getting the help she needs. In these times we all have to look out for each other. The hospital has to protect you, your wife, the other people there seeking care as well as the hospital staff. We simply cannot have a waiting room full of people the way we used to.

Hopefully, you don't live too far away. I didn't stay in the parking lot.Depending on what tests they are going run, you could be there for a few hours. I went home and waited for my son to call me. Tried to keep myself busy, hard as it was.
