My 33-year-old daughter has COVID.
She received both vaccinations and the booster. She and her boyfriend are both pharmacists, and they started coughing a lot so chose to get tested immediately. She texted us after getting the rapid COVID test and said it was negative. She then had the PCR test. Early this morning she texted to say that it was positive. Her boyfriend has type 1 diabetes, so I am especially concerned about him. He has received both vaccinations and his booster, We havent heard yet whether or not his test was positive, but I am assuming that it will be.
I am worried, of course. They have both been so smart, so careful, always wearing their masks, limiting exposure to others. They live 600 miles away in Florida, so I can't just hop in my car and take them my homemade chicken soup (not that soup has any magical healing properties). I just want to do something....but I don't even know what that would be. I know that chances are good that they will not end up hospitalized, but COVID offers us no guarantees. I would change places with her in a heartbear if I could. My 38-year-old niece and her boyfriend just both tested positive for COVID, too. Apprently, neither of them have been vaccinated. I definitely am worried about them. I am going to be positive in my texts to my daughter and hide my anxiety. She doesnt need to be concerned about her mom's fears, that's for sure. I know that many DUers have family and friends who have tested positive for COVID. My heart goes out to each and every one of them. We are all living with so much uncertainty in terms of how a person's immune system will handle the virus. I guess that's my big concern. Anyway, thank you for reading. I just had to share the news with people I care about. DUers have always been so kind and supportive to me. Hugs to all......

7. my niece and her family got it.
|
she's boosted, her obese husband is vaccinated and not boosted. Neither has had to go to the hospital. Their young children have been almost entirely asymptomatic and she complains of nothing other than fatigue. I think it's been the worst for her husband and he is the one I worry about.
i hear some say eventually we'll all have it and I'm still trying to beat those odds but my hope is waning that i will. |

My daughter lives only an hour away, but it might as well be 600 miles when she's sick. She teaches at the university and has had some scares, but so far has not had COVID. She is also double vaxxed and boosted, but in close proximity with so many people who are not.
I have found something we can do that really makes her day: Order food to be sent to her home. I send plenty of "sick" food like yogurt, soup, ice cream, juice and some fun things she wouldn't buy for herself. I write in the instructions to leave in the carport and then I text her when it's there. Just a thought. Maybe it's not homemade chicken soup, but it gets the job done. Hoping for the best. |
