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.

Thanks for updating op, relax as much as you can you've got so much on your plate!

OP you sound like the most wonderful human being, sending you ❤️ and a speedy recovery.

Really good to hear from you and hoping and praying for your speedy recovery . Keep strong and you will get out soon I'm hoping. There are just great treatments around now .

Hope you’re continuing to improve @Dogatetheleftovers 💐

Hope you are doing OK @Dogatetheleftovers

@Dogatetheleftovers

Sorry I haven’t posted. I’ve been in hospital twice in a week. Still here tonight feeling so stressed and poorly. Thanks for your kind wishes. It means so much. My dh and kids are all recovering well but I’ve really taken a down turn. I’m on day 15 now.

Hope you’re starting to feel better now @Dogatetheleftovers?

Hope you’re doing ok OP. You did amazing looking after your family so well when you were also ill, let them look after you now

Day 16 now op?
Hope each day is easier for you

All your family in my thoughts and prayers xxx

hope you are still at home and that your family are taking care of you. Extra vitamin D, lots of rest, eat healthily when you can manage it and consider some pre or probiotics to help get it out of your gut.

Hoping in a week's time you'll do a last post here saying I'm feeling fine now.

Hope you’re feeling stronger xx

I’ve been thinking about you. Hope husband is ok and you’re managing 💐

I keep checking this thread, hoping OP is OK, and just back at home busy with family.

I am also thinking of you and praying 💜

Morning @Dogatetheleftovers I have been praying for you. Hope you’re doing well.

Hope you are feeling better op 💐

I’m home from hospital now but I’ve got pneumonia as a result of the Covid. Thankfully my DH and children are all recovered, apart from one of my DCs who is struggling with breathlessness going upstairs and fatigue. I hope everyone who has been unwell or is still feeling poorly will soon start to feel stronger. And thank you for everyone’s kind wishes when I was so frightened. You’re the best!

@Dogatetheleftovers I'm so glad to hear that your back home! I hope you recover quickly do you have a oximeter so you can keep an eye on things?

Wishing you a speedy recovery

Yes I do have a pulse oximeter which has been invaluable over the past few weeks. Thank you Scottishskifun for your kind wishes.

Glad to hear you're home although sounds like you have a little way to go to full recovery. Take care.

Oh that’s such a relief, thanks for coming on and letting us know, hope your being well looked after now by your family

We are all so glad you are OK and back from hospital. Hope you all recover soon.

Glad you're recovering OP ☺️
