Isolating a child

[thaegumathteth]

Dd (9) has a temp. I'm sat in her bedroom with her but I'll sleep in the spare room which is over the hall. Well use the family bathroom and dh and ds will use the en suite / downstairs loo. We will have to use the same hall way to get to the bathroom:

For background me and both dc have asthma.

Dd is vvvvv upset. Can dh stand at her bedroom door and talk to her?

Can I see dh or ds?

Dh will be doing laundry and cooking etc as I can't go up and down stairs lots due to arthritis. Is it ok if he passes it to me in her room?

Anyone?

Bump

Surely you have to isolate as a family? Don't see how it would work otherwise

I'm of the opinion that once one of us has it, it's so contagious that all of us will get it, so I will be comforting my children. But I get why you are doing what you are.

Well the advice isn't very clear to me at least. Ds has asthma and yes, it's probably too late but I thought the official advice was to separate yourself from anyone vulnerable in your home?

Also she felt hot - I took her temp and it was high. Then literally it's been totally fine since . No clue why.

Oh and to be clear I absolutely am with her and not isolating her from me at all

We are a family of 4. Dh now working from home and I always work from home. If one of us gets it I reckon we all will. I can’t imagine not nursing my children (22 and 14) or my husband if they are ill.

As I've said I'm with her and she won't be left alone at all
