Crap, just talked to my niece and six of my family members are self-quarantining

[MerryBlooms]

and 6 month old twins are sick. Awaiting test results. It's probably nothing. The adults are okay, except for two who are exhibiting cold symptoms and fever, twins exhibiting high fevers and flu symptoms. Prayers, good vibes, etc... Please! Shit. Please. I had called to cancel Christmas plans and she said she was getting ready to call me. Shit. Probably colds. Kids get colds this time a year.

1. colds dont usually have a fever in my experience anyway. hope all goes well 4 them nt

[MerryBlooms]

3. I have, it's probably okay. It will be okay.

[niyad]

2. Hugs to you, and all the positive, healing vibes I have for your family. Please keep us posted.

And your DU family is here for you.

[MerryBlooms]

7. I know you are. I am trying not to get upset, but it's hard.

It will be okay. It's probably nothing to worry about.

[Karadeniz]

4. Ooh boy, I hope everyone tests fine...glad they have the sense of responsibility to quarantine!

[MerryBlooms]

8. Yes, the mom of twins works in a clinic. They're all prepared best they can.

My grand niece works in same clinic, no symptoms, but quarantined.

5. Babies get all kinds of things and often have

issues with fevers. Their temperature regulation system is brand new.

[MerryBlooms]

9. Yes, exactly.

[LuckyLib]

35. Six month olds are often beginning the teething process. Fevers can be part of that.

[Phoenix61]

38. Yes it can! and sleepless nights. nt

[herding cats]

6. My thoughts and heart are with you!

That's scary news in these times. I'm sure they'll be ok, but I get your feeling stressed about this news.

[MerryBlooms]

11. Yep, I'm sure it's nothing. Just need a little DU love and reassurance.

[herding cats]

Gonna be golden.

10. As time goes on, we will all be knowing people who are sick from COVID

I just heard my nephew’s child has it. So far him and his significant other don’t. At least they don’t think so, but haven’t been able to get tested yet. It’s still hard to get tested unless you have bad enough symptoms. The are a couple of other relatives that live in that area who previously had it. All pretty young and weathered it.

[MerryBlooms]

12. I hope your family is fine. I know it's spreading and we'll all be

touched. Much love to you and yours.

[barbtries]

13. they do.

i hope that's all it is. keep us posted.

[MerryBlooms]

17. It will be okay. Thanks, I will.

[LizBeth]

14. I just went thru with my niece. It is hard, the concern and you have so many. Here is to hoping

the test come back negative, and if not a fast and easy recovery.

[MerryBlooms]

18. My sister and I have decided it will be okay, that's how she rolls. lol

Thank you. I will post as soon as I hear something.

[LizBeth]

22. Do post. I follow all the stories. I am with your sister and you.

[MerryBlooms]

28. I will, I promise.

Thanks, sweetie.

[MerryBlooms]

15. My 77 y/o sister who I take care of is amazing.

She is so reassuring. Everyone will be fine. Telling her daughter on the phone now about us having our flu shots at the doc office and how we were telling jokes and made it fun. lol omg, I love her so much. There is nothing I won't do to protect her. She was born in 43, me in 63.

Thanks for being here, guys.

[WheelWalker]

16. Maintain your positivity. With our thoughts we create the world.

[MerryBlooms]

19. Yes! It will be okay! Normal fall stuff.

[sheshe2]

20. Hugs to you all.

[MerryBlooms]

21. Thanks, hon. You know maybe more than anyone.

[Demsrule86]

23. Oh merry prayers, good wishes...all good stuff coming your way.

It is a scary time. Twice I have had cold like symptom and tested negative...allergies, flu or even a cold perhaps so hopefully the same will prove true for you family.

[MerryBlooms]

25. I have horrible allergies with my cats, but totally worth it.

I know as long as my Benadryl kicks in every morning, I'm okay. No fever, I check myself twice a day. I've had my flu shot, so has my sister- we always go together and then do a little something special after. I just sometimes feels such a huge weight on my shoulders. I take care of my 77 y/o sis, plus two clients who are high risk. I am pretty sure since I do home health and designated frontline worker, I will be eligible for the vaccine in the first round. Once I get the vaccine, I will get more sleep. In the meantime, I will probably not sleep much because I spend lots of nights in a loop of second guessing myself and talking myself down. Next thing I know, it's 5am and time to get up. I am drinking a lot more coffee in the mornings than I used to.

24. My two-year-old granddaughter

Had fever and cold symptoms. It’s especially worrisome because she lives on the other side of the globe. But she tested negative and she’s FINE! She bounced back within a few days, though it took us all a bit longer than that to bounce back from the worry.

All the best to you and your family.

[MerryBlooms]

26. Yes, exactly. Lots of stuff kids and adults get that are normal

every fall and winter, but our minds, understandably, want to make sure it's not C-19. So happy for you and yours!

27. My 5 month old granddaughter is getting teeth which is creating all sorts of crazy.

Hope you hear sooner rather than later.

[MerryBlooms]

30. omg, ups and downs on the temps! Total cray!

I think my niece said day after tomorrow. I am sure they're in the clear. Just a little nervous because the twins' mom and sis works in a med clinic. It will be okay. DU always makes me feel better.

[MerryBlooms]

32. Thanks to all. I feel so much calmer. I will update with a new post as soon as I know

the results. I'm sure we're golden... But when it comes to babies in my family, I will always reach out for extra prayers, vibes, etc... Thank you! I love you bunches!! I know I've been snippy lately, and I apologize. No excuses. Sorry for my offending comments.

[lunatica]

33. Hugs to all of you!

What terrible news! I wish I could really be with you to give you the hugs. Just remember that the huge majority survive. And more people are surviving now.

[czarjak]
