Well, 20 months after this pandemic started, COVID has hit our house. Lauren has been sick since early November, but I first thought it was due to her CPAP sleep study. Then she got vaccinated. Then she tested negative 11/5 (She had a fever, which I expected from the vaccine but felt testing was prudent because she was coughing). Her cough never really went way. Tuesday I got a call to pick her up from school and her belly was hurting and it seemed like her cough had picked up a little more. So she and I both tested "just to be safe". She was positive! I was negative. I'm planning to test again today. I have a headache, slight stuffy nose, my stomach is weird (when isn't it though), my throat hurts on and off, and yesterday I got the chills a couple times. My joints always hurt maybe a little bit more than normal, but I might just be noticing more. Who knows! A couple other extended family members have it as well right now. Lauren's morning caregiver has it. It's apparently really bad in Michigan right now and we are definitely feeling it.
Lauren is doing pretty well! She's a little more sleepy than usual but otherwise her normal crazy self. She woke me up this morning by climbing in my bed and saying "Hi mommy! It's my buhfday!" (Her birthday is in February, LOL.) She's been super snuggly which is nice. She told me this morning her chest hurts when she coughs but I honestly have not even heard her cough yet and we've been awake for 2 hours.
