I'm sorry for people's illness. It stinks when you're sick.

If I might, I would like to recommend a couple supplements.

D is very important for immunity. Most people are deficient, I was for years despite taking D vitamins, blood levels in the teens, should be above 30. I read that D supplements work better when you also take K. I started taking K. Two weeks later my D level had increased from 18 to 39. It's now at optimum, in the 60s. I rarely feel or get sick anymore.

Another good supplement for immunity is zinc, but zinc works better with quercetin. I take both. I consider it an investment in my health.

What dosage of vitamin D with K did you take, for how long?

Day off today.
A young Henry with his daughter Matilda. Don't know anything about the mother.

I've been taking 50k unit (prescription strength 1.25mg) D2 once a week. I took it for about 4 years, my D level stayed between 13 and 18. It didn't rise until I started taking K, in November 2021.

I believe what I started taking then is the same type I am taking currently, which is a combination of K1 Phytonadione (100 McG), K2 Menatetrenon-4 (400 McG), and K2 Menaquinone-7 (50 McG).

Nice you had a day off. Henry sure is looking handsome there, and I never realized Matilda was his daughter. Do you have any way of getting news about her, or the others that were rehomed?

She's dead along with evey other hen C "rehomed."
