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.

Pleased you're recovering, take care

So pleased you're back home. I've been checking on your post every day. Glad you are on the mend and that DH and the kids are feeling better too.

Ah glad you are home and recovering, hoping you feel a lot better in the next week x

I’m so pleased you are at home now, and thank you for updating! I’ve been thinking of you often and wondering how you are getting on. X

Welcome home @Dogatetheleftovers so pleased you are on the mend. You have been amazingly strong throughout...you need to make sure your family takes care of you now.

You are all so, so lovely. It’s meant the world to have your support.

Very pleased to hear that you are back from hospital and that your family is also recovering well. Based on what you have told us I think this will be hard but please take it steady and allow yourself time and space to recover.
