ponyhairs, I'm holding you and your daughter in my thoughts and heart. We're here for you. 10outof9 I'm so sorry. If going with friends isn't an option, is there something you want to do? Local hotel with room service and lounge in your robe or pjs watching non holiday movies? I know what it's like to lose someone on Thanksgiving. However you get through this holiday is up to you. Sending love. ❤️❤️

My nephew just tested positive for RSV so now my sister isn't coming home for Christmas. I think she wants to wait and see, but my mom is telling her to stay home. She couldn't come to our parents 50th anniversary party because of Covid in September.

She couldn't come to our parents 50th anniversary party because of Covid in September. I mean, is anyone immunocompromised or a little baby? Like RSV in regular kids and adults is just like another cold, so unless there’s someone that can’t risk getting a cold, I’d tell her to come. I’d risk getting a cold myself to have family around for Xmas. But I wouldn’t if it were a year ago and BabyO was still under 1. If that makes sense?

Yeah, she knows she could come but I think she liked hearing our mom telling her to stay home if that makes sense. My nephew is only 6 months and his cough sounds horrible. I was worried about them making the 5 hour drive for him to end up hospitalized here. Or my older nephew who is 4 getting it. But my mom does has some health issues including heart disease. And my parents are helping to care for my uncle who just had a heart valve replacement so my dad drives him to his appointments. It’s just a lot.

Esp. a 5 hour drive with a 6mo. I hope nephew feels better asap. BabyO got RSV again last week and while it went much better than last year (he was hospitalized bc of it), it’s still awful.

My stepmom collapsed at dinner Tuesday night, she vomited then stopped breathing. My niece did CPR and I called 911. She was taken to the ER and now she’s in ICU. Trying to figure out what happened. Their best guess right now is she aspirated from her vomit and ended up having a heart attack on the way in the ambulance. But they still don’t know what caused the vomiting in the first place. I'm so sorry. I know that nausea and even vomiting can be symptoms of a heart attack in women (and why we're diagnosed less frequently because men are more likely to have the classic "arm and chest pain" signs). I hope she's recovering. She’s recovered and has been home since yesterday 🩷 on a mushy food only diet until they can head down to Seattle and see a specialist. Thank you 🙏🏼

Christmas is just too much for my children and they are overstimulated, over sugared and they seem so stressed out. It is absolutely not magical and I can't wait until it's over.

Got to our family Christmas today and I'm glad I got here early. My parents broke the news that their neighbor died yesterday. He was 43 with three kids under the age of 12. His wife is a good friend and I am just heart broken for them.
He was out at the farm yesterday and figured it would take an hour or two. When he wasn't home in three hours, her calls to him when unanswered. He hadn't done any of the chores when she went out looking for him. They figure he was out there on the ground for two hours before she got there. They figure it was heart.

My cat is still in the hospital and not doing well. They don’t have a diagnosis but he’s having a fever and neurological problems.
The whole family loves this cat and it’s going to be a sad Christmas break, I fear.

Sorry to everyone struggling. My H’s mom died today. We knew it was coming - she was declining rapidly from frontal temporal dementia and when we saw her last week, she didn’t know who we were, stopped eating and started morphine.
I can’t really vent anywhere so I came here to say she was a wonderfully lovely woman, the best mother in law, raised a beautiful son, and I’m going to sincerely miss her. The disease that took her is cruel and terrible and can go fuck itself.
I’m being strong for H and DD but I’m just really damned sad. Thanks for listening.
