Covid

 

Well the good news is that Norah has rollerblades

The bad is she got it because she is quarantined all month. Brent brought home Covid. It went around one of his dealerships. 

Colin had woken up with strep throat and Joel was all blocked up and coughing. Our doctor did a telehealth appointment because she was out of town and then wanted to follow up with the boys when she got back. 24 hours after antibiotics Colin was feeling fine. Joel was almost fine but I kept their appointment just to make sure Joel didn't have strep as well.  Years ago Colin had a sore throat and then didn't mention it again so I forgot until weeks later when his neck was full of swollen lymph nodes. 

So at the doctors she checked Colin and he was fine and then said Joel didn't have strep, she said it was more bronchial but because of that she wanted to do a covid test just to rule that out. And he came back positive two days later. So our doctor put us all on Ivermectin and supplements. By then Joel was feeling fine and running around the house. Brent, Joel and I got it. I got it the worst but it really wasn't that bad. Just felt like a bad cold. I've been sicker before with other things. All Brent had was a runny nose and scratchy throat but he hears daily how he gave us all covid. It really wasn't that bad.

Because Norah and Colin didn't get it they have to be quarantined for 24 days. They are making the most of it and we are now in single digits of them getting out. It has helped that its been raining a lot. Then you want to stay home and don't want to go out. I don't think they are getting it by now. The high school nurse calls every day checking in to see if Colin has any symptoms. Colin wishes he had gotten it because then they would've been out in 10 days. It all seems so backwards to keep the well quarantined while the one who were sick can leave. 
We will be glad to flip the calendar this year.
