My kids both tested positive this morning, so we opened all the windows and cranked the air purifier up and made the big switch. Now my husband is the lone Covid negative member of our household, sheltering in the unit and the rest of us are upstairs.
{My son originally tested negative when my husband just swabbed his nose, but I tested him again swabbing his mouth and nose and that came back positive. I really do think swabbing the mouth is important with this new variant!}
It’s so weird to me that my husband – who I sleep with! – is the only one who hasn’t tested positive yet. That is crazy.
I’m glad he’s getting a day away from everyone though. He definitely needs it.
Yesterday was a doozy. Our cat, who had been explosively vomiting for a few days, vomited blood on Sunday morning. My husband then spent 4.5 hours waiting to get her into the vet, while my kids stayed upstairs alone and I listened to them on the monitor. It was… less than ideal.
$1500 later our cat is… fine? The only important info we got was that we can give her a quarter teaspoon of Miralax in wet food to help her with her constipation. I’m glad to know that, but $1500 seems like a steep price for it.
I have to say, I’m bummed my kids got this but I’m grateful they got it early in my isolation time so we can isolate together. I was worried they would test positive later in the week and we’d have staggered isolation times. Now we can all be home this week together.
So far my daughter has a stuffy nose and sore throat, and my son has a sore throat and mild cough. We’ll see where the day takes us.
Both kids are missing really cool field trips this week, my daughter to Alcatraz and my son to the Aquarium by the Bay. They are both super bummed.
It’s going to be a long week…
I was just going to say that I’m glad they tested positive right after you so that the quarantine aligned! Like you mentioned a few posts back, at least at this point you won’t be worried about all of your other fun trips & activities this summer getting messed up cuz of COVID. 🙂 Fingers crossed it’s just mild cold symptoms for y’all!
Glad being aligned with the kids in sickness works in many ways. But I had hoped you would be getting lots of extra rest and the ability to sleep in while not well. Being sick with sick kids, you are not going to be getting extra rest and you need it.
MUCH sympathy. Hopefully you three are able to agree on movies and be cuddled up together with soothing throat foods supplied by ‘the last one still standing’. And I hope he has stocked up today against the chance that he too will succumb.
Not messing up your summer plans is the silver lining. Sending you best good wishes; and take a nap please. LOTS OF REST HELPS!
