trueblue I’m so sorry. My friends father just passed away from covid. He got tested weekly in his nursing home (they had pulled him out for a year and a half and kept him in one of her sister’s homes to keep him safe from covid) and he turned a positive within a week. They saw him on Wednesday, his pcr came back positive that day, my friend felt sick on Thursday so she didn’t go see him, and he died Friday morning. It was so fast and he was 82 and had been getting over an pneumonia. lion I’d let her go. You could ask her to mask when not eating. That's so sad. I worry about my grandma. She is 90 and in generally good health but...90.

lion, we let our kids resume indoor activities once vaccinated. Nothing is more germ filled than school.

We found a place and got our shots today thankfully. I went first but the kids still panicked. We all got Moderna.

Not covid but illness related. Ds1 brought home a cold / cough like a week or two ago. Lingering cough. We kept Him home from school two separate days but it’s just a cough so we just finally sent him back. I got the cough like a week ago but it was mild. Now it’s worse and I got junk in my nose and chest, hacking, etc. Whatever I’ll live. But now Baby O has It and he is miserable and hacking and I’m terrified we will have to take him to the hospital and he will be admitted. He’s breathing ok but his cough is so intense and he has so much snot, and he is on the borderline of not eating enough but making plenty of wet diapers. Like his cough sounds awful and mixed with him crying it sounds pathetic and I feel so badly. We gave him Tylenol and did a steaming bathroom hangout and that seemed to help but ugh.

The kids got their bivalent boosters today. They were both nervous going in, but did great. We then celebrated with IHOP brunch. 🙂

As I expected, my bivalent booster kicked my butt. Today has been Advil and naps. For some reason, H wanted to get some of the crap out of the basement for donation so my naps were interrupted by him asking questions. I’m trying not to get annoyed because it needs to get done, but seriously!!

Not COVID but damn man. Since we've been on our trip FIL got hospitalized with flu A (he is doing much better now) and Sil who lives in a different part of Virginia also got flu A and it's kicking her butt and my parents just called me asking how to use our nebulizer because DS felt short or breath and wheezy. The sickness is everywhere.

Hope you feel better tomorrow.

Sigh. DH took Baby O to the ER. He was having low grade fever (100.1 was the highest we got). Usually eats 3-4oz every 3 hours and today was barely eating 2oz every 3-4. Anytime he ate more than 2oz he’d throw it up. And was having increased work of breathing and retractions. I just want to cry.

Thanks friends. He has RSV and was admitted and is on oxygen. I FREAKING knew it and I’m so sad. I’m home with ds1 and just need to get him to school so I can get over to the hospital. Sigh.
