One thing on your post jumped out at me.
Every time you tell him "Wait and see." he thinks YOU think he is not going to make it.

We spent hours making plans for " When all this shit is over and we can get back to our normal".
And you know what...we did get back to normal.

Pete is not the type of guy to even think he was not going to recover, and I believe attitude is a big part of our armour to beat this disease.

When folks ask me how he is doing,I tell them "Large as life and twice as ugly!"

I know this is hard on you and your family but try to look forward to the good times to come.

Take Care
