Kiddo has COVID again.

[Aqua Letifer]

Monday was her very first day of school. Loved it. But got a fever Monday night. We tested her then—negative. Stayed home yesterday due to school rules. Went back today. Was fine the whole time. In the past hour, she had a gravelly voice and a 102 fever. Tested her, and it's positive.

Incidentally, I had a hell of a headache out of the blue today. Hurt like a bastard and hung around for about an hour. Different kind of headache from what I'm used to. I just tested myself, though—negative. At least for now.

Nooooo.....

Maybe y'all had the Delta before and not omicron? Either way - fingers cross this clears up fast.

We tried to get that tested, and couldn't. So, anybody's guess. And as far as I know, I haven't had it yet.

Either way - fingers cross this clears up fast.

Thanks. We'll see how it goes I guess. Fortunately, she's had it before. Might could help.

Jesus H. This fucking virus.

Hope it ends up being a nothingburger, at least in the long run.

Please, PLEASE, keep us posted.

Will-do. Gonna be a lot of temperature-testing tonight. Hopefully this round is a lot faster.

Might have missed it, but I assume, because of her age, she's not vaccinated.

I wonder what the impact of "acquired immunity from previous infections" will be.

Correct.

Very much wondering that myself. Off to CVS now to stock up.

The Chinese did a bang-up job with this one, didn't they?

Hope everybody gets well soon...

I hope you and the kiddo make it through ok Aqua.

[LuFins Dad]

Well crap. Will be praying for you guys.

[jon-nyc]

Damn. Hope it resolves quickly and uneventfully.

[kluurs]

Crap! Hope there’s a quick recovery.

[brenda]

Your poor kiddo, Aqua! I hope you don't get it, nor your wife.

Yes, please share updates as you can.

[Aqua Letifer]

Her SpO2 is 93%, temp 103.6. Not at all great, but not hospital level. Gonna be a rough night.

[jon-nyc]

Oh no.

[Klaus]

Damn, sorry to hear that.

[brenda]

Holy cow. Did she sleep at all? How is she?

Everything George said. "Hope it ends up being a nothingburger, at least in the long run. Please, PLEASE, keep us posted."

Sick child = top of the stressmeter.

Gave her some melatonin to help her sleep; she crashed somewhere around 3AM. She's doing better for now—SpO2 95, temp 100.6, but I'm keeping a log just to track how it's changing. This happened last time, too—crazy swings. SpO2's not as bad so far but temp can get pretty high.

I've had an absolute mother of a headache since yesterday, so I wonder if I have it. We're testing nightly now.
