DH just tested positive but we have 3 DCs who are clinically extremely vulnerable.

[Dogatetheleftovers]

DH just received email informing him that he’s had a positive test. Not surprising really when lots of colleagues have it. But he’s tried to be really vigilant, wearing kn95 masks, hand washing etc because of our kids. Now that he’s tested positive, coughing, tight chest, fatigued, we’re left wondering what to do. The DCs are teenagers so old enough to understand the risks and to know that they’ve all had shielding letters. I’ve had one as well. I’m terrified now and I know we’ve got to wait 14 days to see if one of us has it too. Already one dc has temperature and headache! Anyone offer any kind words of support or advice, it would be most welcome.

Taking the silence to mean you have more important things to do right now.
Hope things are ok.

Morning @Dogatetheleftovers still thinking of you and your family. Hope you’re improving.

Oh my,?ive just stumbled across this thread, really hope you and your family are improving

You must be so frightened. I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this

Many of us are concerned. I am. Hoping for the best. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts.

Praying for you and your family. You really do have a lot to juggle! hope you all start to feel better soon.

I’ve been worrying about you. Really hope you’re ok

Really hope you're ok OP.

Also popping on to hope you and your family are ok.

How did you get on?

Hope to see you back on here soon telling us you are all recovering

Worrying about you all OP. I hope you are starting to recover.

I've only just come across this thread. I'm so sorry you and your family have been going through this. I hope you're all recovering.

Make sure your husband’s towels, toothbrush, washing, are kept away from others. This is what I did when I had it at the back end of last year. I sterilised my toothbrush after every use and made sure the bathroom was cleaned after I used it. I also used different utensils and crockery. I didn’t go in the kitchen and my husband, who was amazing, did all the cooking for about a month whilst I was unwell. The worst thing was not being able to hug my husband and daughter. I just stayed away from everyone as much as possible.
Hope he’s feeling better soon and it passes quickly for you all💐

I would recommend you get stocked up with decongestant, ibuprofen and paracetamol. Air your house out regularly, and look up coughing techniques that cystic fibrosis sufferers use as this will help to clear tight chests.
Wishing you the best.

If you're not going to RTFT then at least read a few recent posts first...
