Sof stayed home from school a few days, then Claire, who was probably the sickest she's ever been. She had a fever for a few days, but eventually got better. I know she's sick when she takes naps, and she took one daily for 3 days in a row.
Claire's doctor was pretty sure Claire was on the downswing of whatever Virus she had, but just as a precaution, he put her on an antibiotic anyway. It helped her
Finally, it was Quincey's turn - and she looked awful, the worst she's ever looked, so off we went to InstaCare one Saturday after Sof's basketball game.
The InstaCare was a bit more proactive about any and all tests, so Quincey got the swab for Strep, Flu, and COVID. The nurse told me she would call me if any of them came back positive.
Not even an hour later, I got the call. Poor Quincey had tested positive for Flu and COVID. Whaaa?! I was honestly shocked. Here we were 2 years later, and someone in the household finally tested positive for COVID. Why wouldn't it be Quincey? They immediately called her in a prescription, and Quincey was already doing better the next day. Oh the power of medicine.
After seeing how Quincey was doing, Claire had definitely had the same thing. Poor girl! Luckily, she was on an antibiotic too, which was helping more each day.
Who was next to get sick?
This guy.
Fevering and chills like crazy, so off he went to InstaCare too. And guess what he texted positive for?
The Flu and COVID.
It. Was. Awful.
He was wrapped up in this blanket for days on end, slept downstairs each night, and still managed to get work done. All while sounding like a walking disease, but was lucky to be on an antibiotic as well.
Somehow, I managed to stay healthy, and I'm thinking it's because someone needed to be able to take care of all of the other sick bodies in the house.
What a way to start the holiday season.
