DD2 was doing well earlier. Her fever is high now and only came down a smidge with Tylenol. I think she's in for a rough go of things which is so hard after she spent all summer in the hospital and having multiple surgeries. Poor thing can't catch a break. DD1 had a negative repaid but I suspect her PCR will come back positive. She had a fever this morning and now she's coughing a ton. H, the baby, and I all seem fine so far. Poor girl can't catch a break. I hope she is feeling better soon and that your oldest is as well. Hopefully the rest of you can avoid it. It must be so stressful. Do you guys need anything? It's stressful, yes, but we're managing. We don't need anything. We've been slowly stockpiling and had just grocery shopped. H did a curbside Target pickup today for a few other things, the one where you just pop your trunk and they put it in. He wore his mask the whole time he drove to be safe. I don't know.

I saw that our school district nursing staff was vaccinated this week, and they are expected to get the teachers in the next phase. I thought that was great, it’s happening faster than I expected.

Hi, I lurk here but am on a BMB with cnf. cnf I'm so sorry you're going through this! It's hard enough being home with 3 little ones in winter without the Covid concerns. Aren't your day to go back to work next week? I hope everyone feels better soon!

So I get at least one more week home to deal with my covid kids instead.

Jesus. He was 41. I can’t believe people don’t take this seriously still.

Jesus. He was 41. I can’t believe people don’t take this seriously still. So sad and frustrating. Not to go off on a tangent, but it is frustrating that there is a whole population that seems to believe that science and prayers are unable to coexist. Wonder when his symptoms actually started that he ended up testing. It seems he went from positive test to hospital within a day. I hope his wife doesn’t contact it.

Having known the Letlows personally, I’m going to refrain from saying anything directly because it just feels weird. But trust that it won’t change anything in that area. The majority (truly the large majority) there are full blown conspiracy Trumpists. It’s so very bad.

I spent a therapy session today figuring out how to tell my sister I’m not going to be at her wedding unless fully vaccinated, and that’s highly unlikely. I have so many emotions about it (anger at the virus, anger and her having a large wedding during a pandemic, anger and sadness at the inevitable wall that will go up between us when I’m not at her wedding, anger at me missing my sister’s biggest day).
I’m steeling myself for the fallout and telling myself over and over that I can’t control her response, only mine, but damn this sucks ass. I’m terrible at family confrontation as there’s a lot of dysfunction there. Sorry for the word dump, I just needed to get it out.

H’s cousin was more alert today and his oxygen was reduced to 75%. He seems to be slowly but steadily improving. 🙏🏻

cnf - lots of good thoughts to your DD I hope she’s on the mend ASAP. Dr. Cox, that you’re this concerned with your sisters reaction shows what a considerate person you are. The unfairness of all of this is so prevalent in every decision we make. Like we all have to be better than good to make up for the idiots who are acting like this is no big deal. I hope your sister has her upset moments, but understands that you also need to be protected and ultimately calms down.

Dr. Cox that's an awful situation to be in. You're doing the right thing, but I know that's little comfort.

Dr. Cox I’m sorry you are in this position. I hope she has understanding. I think everyone needs to extend grace to everyone’s comfort levels at this time even if it’s not what they want to here or wouldn’t do.

I need to vent somewhere. I just went off o H and I feel and but I’m pissed at his works Hr lady right now. For perspective he works in an agricultural tractor store, so essential business but also very customer facing.
One of his coworkers started feeling off last Wednesday but is pregnant with twins so chalked it up to that. Came in Thursday and has been out since hacking up a lung and blowing her nose non stop. Apparently she went to a pharmacy and got a drive through test but results aren’t back yet. HR told her as long as she could get her coughing to stop and no fever to come in regardless of waiting on test results. I’m so livid. I told H this needs to get to upper management asap. I can’t imagine what customers would feel if they knew she was there sick.

Ugh cnf, I missed that DD2 tested positive. I should probably post stalk, but how are you holding up? Doing okay? We're doing ok. Kids are restless when they're feeling good and whiny and needy when they're not. We're just trying to figure out what makes the most sense to keep us all healthy enough and sane.

My H had an appointment at the transplant clinic and was talking to the CNA who told him how she was talking to an anti-vaxxer at a... Christmas party. She herself seemed rather confused about how vaccines work but all the staff had been vaccinated last week and apparently it was mandatory, thank goodness. And she works with patients that are immunocompromised/high risk. 😒🤦🏻♀️😖
