Our little one, my great niece, has COVID.

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.
