Grandparents dilemma - COVID

[Pumpkinangel]

Hi all, we were meant to spend Xmas day with my in-laws but as of last Monday they both tested positive for covid and since have both been extremely ill especially mother in law, they said we will have to cancel Xmas and just have at our homes which is understandable but now they are past their isolation stage my husband is saying we should go abs see them Xmas day just for brew but they are very ill still at the moment and my first thought is panic as we have 2 year old son. I know they are past the contagious phase but it just worries me, anyhow lastnite hubby and I had argument about it. Am I being silly about it and do u think it will be ok to pop and see them Xmas day? I know it’s 2 weeks away but I feel we should wait and see how they are then?

What do I think? I don't think it's worth having an argument about now! A lot can change in eleven days!
If his mum has been seriously ill, I quite understand why your DH wants to go and see her once she's well enough. Hopefully they'll be feeling better by then and ready to receive visitors but they might not be. Technically they'll be long out of their infectious period by then, but if they're still suffering, they probably won't want you anyway.
If you feel anxious, why don't you wait and see what the weather is like and see if you can meet or sit outside?
On the plus side, you're a lot less likely to pass anything to them now as they should have a good does of antibodies. So that's one less thing to worry about.

Assuming they are feeling well enough to have visitors,.seeing them at Xmas seems like pretty good timing. They won't be infectious and presumably won't be at risk from you.

I'd wait a bit longer before you make a decision. I wouldn't go and see them if they're still feeling poorly but you've got some time yet.

I’d wait and see on Christmas Eve; if they’re still really ill by then it gives way to other worries beyond whether you see them or not.

I can’t imagine not wanting to go and visit my sick mother on Xmas day or any other day tbh. You’ve said yourself that they will be out of the isolation phase. If they are happy for you to go then why wouldn’t you? Seem selfish and a bit mean.
