Damn, damn, damn.....Covid hits my family...

[jujube]

My granddaughter just called. The baby (15 months) has just tested positive for Covid.

She seems to be fine (she was throwing a hissy-fit because her sister wouldn't let her wear the sister's favorite shoes, so that's a good sign...if she feels well enough for a tantrum, she can't be TOO sick.....)

She had to be tested because her teacher at day care has come down with Covid. Now the whole family has to be tested and go into quarantine for 14 days. Daycare has to be closed. My granddaughter is a high school teacher, so there go her classes. My granddaughter's husband's father just died a few days ago (non-covid causes) and the (small, socially-distanced) memorial service was supposed to be next weekend. The family is going to put off the service until her husband can attend.

This is the first case of Covid in the family. Sure hope it's the last.

So sorry to hear this @jujube.....what a fiasco for the whole family....please stay safe in spite of this awful virus

 

[Ruthanne]

Oh, that's very unfortunate. I hope none of your family gets it real bad...prayers for you all.

 

[Aneeda72]

I am so sorry. I hope they will be fine.

Great granddaughter caught it from nursery school as well, in March or a bit later. She was 23 months or so and she did fine.

Jujube, I'm sorry to hear this. Does that mean that you have to be in lockdown also, or were you not exposed?

 

[Sassycakes]

jujube I am so sorry to hear this and am sending prayers for your family.

 

[RadishRose]

So sorry to hear this Jujube!

I pray the baby will be alright an the rest of your family!

 

[Jules]

No matter if the symptoms are minimal, this is very concerning for the whole family. Wishing everyone the best.

 

[Lewkat]

Sorry to read this, Jujube, hopefully it will be nothing much. Praying it won't at any rate..

 

[SeaBreeze]

@jujube, so sorry to hear that news. Hoping the baby and all in the family get through this with no severe symptoms....thinking of you all.

 

[Aunt Bea]

For a child that young I would ask for a second test or some other follow-up to confirm the diagnosis.

Best wishes and prayers to you and your family.

 

[Pink Biz]

Hoping all will be fine very soon. Sending healing thoughts your way.

Sorry to read this, jujube. Here's hoping that this situation turns out to be minor and that your granddaughter's baby gets nothing more than mild, passing symptoms if even that, and that the rest of the family does not get infected at all. Does anybody know yet where the baby got it?

Yes, from her teacher at day care.

They live in another state, so no exposure for me. I can't even go up and help out because I am caring for my mother, who's in a terminal condition.

Thanks, you all, for your kind thoughts!

I hope a lot more people read this thread than are responding because that statement alone will drive home how serious this COVID thing really is. Thanks for the information, jujube and I am sending good thoughts your way.

So sorry, to hear about this hitting such a young one. Prayers and stay safe and well, be careful.

Thinking of you and your family jujube, with best wishes to all at this difficult time

 

[StarSong]

I know a lot of people whose grands or great-grands have continued attending daycare facilities. A roll of the dice, for sure.

Hoping all goes well for your family, @jujube, and that nobody else gets sick.

 

[Pinky]

Wishing for the best outcome for your grand-daughter's baby, and for her family.
Many virtual hugs ..

Praying for you and yours @jujube Hope they all get light cases and develop immunity. What a relief that would be to have it over with! Realize the next few weeks for you will be stressful.
