Our little one, my great niece, has COVID.

[sheshe2]

She is 2 years old.

Tested positive this morning after waking with sniffles and a cough. Mom always tests them if there is a simple sign. We have all done the right thing from day 1 and still mask up when we leave home.

This is the first that has touched me and mine. I have known no one, not friends or family that have had COVID.

I am a bit shaken by all this.

[LoisB]

1. Sorry to hear this. I hope she recovers quickly and fully.

[highplainsdem]

2. Oh, no. Prayers on the way for her, and for you and the entire family.

[sheshe2]

12. Deep breath here.

TY, hpd.

The 5 yr old is for days shy of being fully vaccinated.

[skylucy]

3. Sending positive thoughts that she will have a mild case and recover quickly.

[Wingus Dingus]

4. Hope she's OK--almost all kids have come through OK, but

it's scary when they're that little.

[blm]

5. ((she))

So sorry to hear this.

[Walleye]

6. Hope she recovers quickly and completely

9. Mom did the right thing

And quickly got your little one care. Sounds like all of you are diligent n please give us updates. We’re sending love n prayers for a full recovery. Breathe positive..exhale stress..

[brer cat]

10. I'm so sorry, sheshe.

I know she means the world to you, and you will worry until she is back to normal again. I hope she has a very mild case and complete recovery.

[sheshe2]

34. Yes she does and her big sister as well.

Mom is trying to keep them apart as much as she can. Big sis is 5 and is a few days shy being fully vaxed with her second shot.

My sister delivered a HEPA filter today, last one Target had in stock.

Thanks.

[Wicked Blue]

11. (((((((blessings))))))))

may she recover quickly and fully

[Duncanpup]

13. Aww poor child

[Jim__]

14. I hope it's a very mild case.

[redwitch]

15. My 2 year granddaughter had it.

Slightly miserable cold like symptoms that barely slowed her down. May that be true for your dear one too.

[sheshe2]

23. thank you.

[Demsrule86]

16. Sheshe2 so sorry to hear this...hoping for a speedy recovery for the little one.

[BoomaofBandM]

17. Scary

[mcar]

18. Oh she, I'm sorry

Blessing and healing wishes to your dear niece.

[greatauntoftriplets]

19. My youngest great-niece had it earlier this year at age 3.

She wasn't very sick with it, fortunately. Her mother and older sisters had it at the same time. I hope that your great niece gets over it quickly, and that no one else in the family gets it.

[sheshe2]

35. Thanks, gaot.

So glad your wee one is doing fine.

[greatauntoftriplets]

53. Her mother will be relieved once this one can be vaccinated.

The older girls are now fully vaxxed. Your great-niece will be feeling much better before the quarantine is over.

[sheshe2]

60. Love you sweetie.

You are one of the best of DU.

[greatauntoftriplets]

61. Thanks. Same to you.

[wnylib]

20. Hoping and wishing the best for her

and the rest of the family.

[Gore1FL]

21. I am sorry to hear this.

You and your family are in my thoughts. It is amazing how resilient the virus can be, but I am betting your niece is even more so.

[TomSlick]

22. I am very concerned about our 3-year old grandson.

He seems to pick-up every contagion that comes through his day-care.

His parents have a supply of at home Covid tests but that does nothing to prevent the anti-vaxxers from endangering our children.

Best wishes for your great niece - and for all our children.

[sheshe2]

25. I hear you.

I will never forgive trump or the anti-vaxers for bringing us to this point.

We did everything we could to be safe, they did the opposite.

[TomSlick]

31. TFG and the anti-vaxers are sociopaths at a minimum.

[Hekate]

24. Sending out prayers for you & all, She

[Nevilledog]

26. ...

Hope the wee one feels better.....quickly.

[Johonny]

27. My brother just tested positive

[sheshe2]

37. I am so sorry, Johonny.

My thoughts are with you and yours.

[Johonny]

66. He says he's fine

We will see what happens. He's vaccinated and a lot younger than me, so I'm hoping he's just one of many asymptomatic cases.

[C Moon]

69. Oh no! I hope he's vaxxed!

[lunatica]

28. Hugs to you and all the family!

I hope she barely feels it and just goes on with her terrible twos!

[TygrBright]

29. Oh, no, sheshe- holding your whole family and the little one in my heart with prayers for healing!

It is SO hard to watch a little one deal with sickness.

And this particular sickness...

You're not alone - so many friends here, we are holding you in our hearts.

Stay strong, for the whole family.

lovingly,
Bright

[BumRushDaShow]

30. Oh no sheshe!

That younger set have been the ones I have worried about since they have generally been ineligible or are borderline for being able to get a vaccine, with the 5 - 11 only recently approved. I know there are trials ongoing for the 6 months - 5 years old set. Pfizer is hoping to get data in and approval some time during early 2022 for the 2 - 5 set and later in the year for the infants (6 months) to toddlers (2 years) - https://fortune.com/2021/11/12/covid-vaccines-for-little-kids-under-5-pfizer-2022/ Moderna has similar trials ongoing - https://www.wpr.org/uw-madison-testing-covid-19-vaccine-children-6-months-4-years-old

Hope she only had a small viral load and recovers quickly.

[sheshe2]

43. Thanks, BRDS.

Even the wee ones need the vax. Hope that approval passes quickly.

[Lonestarblue]

32. I'm so sorry! I truly hate for little ones to be sick.

I hope she has a mild case and a speedy recovery.

[Trueblue Texan]

33. Thinking good thoughts...

...my grandkids have both had COVID twice--they are 5 and 8--we also have all done the right thing. I wouldn't even invite my mother in law for Thanksgiving because she's not vaccinated. Thank goodness they were both fine. Got their vaccines as soon as we were able. It's so scary that the Covidiots are putting the littlest ones at risk. I will keep you and your great niece in my thoughts.

[JoeOtterbein]

36. I'm sorry.

Our little ones always suffer from the foolishness of adults.

(tears)

[PA_jen]

38. Sending healing vibes.

[AllaN01Bear]

39. sending good vibes your way, i just learned that my oldest sis had

a moderate case of covid and managed to ride it out. shes tripple vaxxed too also.

[onecaliberal]

40. Hoping that it's a very light case and she has a speedy recovery.

[malaise]

41. Hope she gets well soon

[FoxNewsSucks]

42. Sorry to hear that

But it's good that your family does the right things, even though the tRumphumpers don't.
Hope she has a full recovery

[sheshe2]

49. She hardly knows us.

She was born six months before COVID hit.

Her parents are good peeps.

TY, FNS.

[KentuckyWoman]

44. We have one in my family too.

We have 7 in the family testing positive. All vaxxed but the 1 yr old that got it at daycare.

Everyone is mostly symptom free. The 1 yr old has been in urgent care twice last week. Has strep too, also from daycare. Both caught from the same child who had both.

Even careful daycare is 1 big petre dish. Even worse if they are not careful.

[sheshe2]

52. We have done what we can to protect ourselves and others.

Vaccine mandates are a necessity.

I don't know what else to say.

Love and hugs to you and yours.

[orleans]

57. i know a little one year old who caught rubella at daycare recently.

the child she caught it from was "only there for an hour" (according to a friend)
i guess that's all it takes. even less.

[Heartstrings]

45. Healing vibes sent for your niece, sheshe2! nt

[Scrivener7]

46. I'm so sorry. I would be terribly shaken. You and she are in my heart. Let us know how she does.

[wendyb-NC]

47. Oh no, sorry to hear that

I will keep her in my prayers, for a quick recovery and that no one else in the family catches it. Poor baby. Hoping she can get well, at home.

I know you all are stressed out, having a family member with covid. My brother and his family up in New York State, got Covid over the holidays, last year. His, son in law, caught it from a new employee, he'd just hired, and who wasn't forthcoming about attending unmasked parties. The families had Christmas together and within a week, everyone subsequently tested positive for the virus.

Long story short, his wife and youngest daughter (age 30) had mild cold like symptoms. My brother and his older daughter, who is married to the one who contracted Covid from his employee, had more fever, and a hacking cough. The grand children/grand nephews, did not get that sick. They were just more hectic and a little whiny, for a few days, then got back to normal.

I called or texted my brother, every day for about 2 weeks. The Public Health department, released him, his wife and youngest daughter from quarantine, after 10 days. He felt somewhat better, but said his energy was diminished, and he was still unable to taste food. Those symptoms lingered for 6 months.

When I found out they had contracted Covid I was so worried, as he and his wife are both 63. I am so grateful they are all okay and those eligible have since been vaccinated. I felt so powerless, watching from a distance. Blessings to you, and your loved ones.

[spanone]

48. Our two grandkids both got covid...minimal symptoms. They were 4 and 7 at the time (July)

.It's scary as hell...when you think nearly 800,000 fellow Americans have died from it.

[iemanja]

50. I am so sorry, sheshe2

Hoping she heals quickly.

[MustLoveBeagles]

51. I'm sorry

I hope symptoms don't get worse and she recovers. I found out yesterday one of my friends tested positive. It was a break through case. She was vaxxed and boosted, masked publicly and social distanced and still got it. She thinks she got it when she had to take her husband to the hospital last week. She has the same symptoms as your great niece.

[spooky3]

54. I'm so sorry, sheshe2. I hope for a quick and full recovery.

Please take care of yourself too.

[electric_blue68]

55. )))healing vibes((( to her. Strength to you & family...

May she not be too sick, and a make full recovery!

[cate94]

56. I'm sure it's scary

Hoping she gets over this quickly.

[mommymarine2003]

58. So sorry she is sick.

My granddaughter had COVID in August. She was 21 months old at the time. She just turned 2 last month. She got COVID from her un-vaccinated mother who went to Arizona to a bachelorette party and returned to Oregon having been exposed down there. 10 days later mother and baby were both sick. My granddaughter was fussy for a couple days but recovered quite rapidly. I hope this will be the case for your little one. My son also got COVID, even though he was vaccinated. He had to take care of the sick baby while he wife was sick. All are just fine now, so I wish the best for your family.

My sister got COVID in April of 2020. Her vaccinated daughter has had breakthrough COVID twice since August of this year. While my sister was taking care of her sick daughter and young sons in Tacoma, her husband back in Spokane came down with COVID, and he was also vaccinated. He teaches at a school in Idaho right on the Washington border. Idaho has a low vaccination rate, so I am surprised it took him that long to get sick. There have been probably a dozen people in my small neighborhood who have had COVID. My husband and I have both had our booster shots, but I feel like someday we will get some form of COVID.

[crickets]

59. I am so sorry to hear this, sheshe.

I know it must be so stressful. I hope your great niece recovers quickly and that everyone else manages to steer clear of infection.

[Greybnk48]

62. I don't wish to minimize the danger she's in, but we know someone who's

2 year old had COVID in November. She was sick and hospitalized for a couple of days to be safe (her mom and dad stayed there with her). She's completely better now. Just snapped back very quickly.

This is anecdotal, I know, but I think the kids do better than old people like me. I will be thinking of your little one.

[Nixie]

63. So sorry to hear this, she!

Keep us posted. I hope she shakes it fast.

💕
