Catwoman Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I was hoping your dh wouldn’t catch it, but figured it was pretty unlikely he would be able to avoid it. 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 There should really be a national chain of people, maybe nursing students or CNA’s who you can call to come work for a few days to watch everyone while adults are sick. It’s been a long time since we were all sick at the same time. I forgot how frustrating it is. Especially when DH will not get out of bed for anything because he’s “too sick.” 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get sick now I can rest and someone else can cook and clean a bit. Maybe not to my standard but enough that I can recuperate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 DD3 hasn't had any fever, even a low grade one, since yesterday afternoon. I even stopped the medicine. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time we caught it, they were fine. At that time, the playroom was off the living room (actually a bedroom). I had DVD's playing 24/7. For several days, I would crawl to the fridge and throw a yogurt at them... I remember thinking I wonder how long they can live on yogurt. But neither I nor my husband had any energy. We had only been in the house a couple of months, hadn't unpacked and had no friends yet and no family nearby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlktwins Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Just to give our experience since your positive is so light. DS1 had super faint line on day 6 after exposure. I tested him 3 days later and he was negative. He was negative again the next day. He was hardly sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested again today and it is as dark as it can be. All of us have it now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My COVID tests never turned positive. But right before those who did get positives in our house got them, I spent and entire 24 hours in bed, without the energy to do anything other than sleep. No temperature. No stomach issues. Occasionally felt cold/hot/etc. Just total exhaustion. IF This was COVID, I actually had the most symptoms of anyone in the family. Even though my daughter and husband both tested positive, my husband had no symptoms at all and my daughter had only a touch of nausea. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
