Kiddo has COVID again.

This is going on too long.
Have you contacted a doc? Perhaps there's something else going on on top of the virus?
We're doing that tomorrow if we're still in the shit by then. First chat with the doc was basically "nothing we can do unless her O2 is under 90 by the time we test her." Which, great.

I do not agree with the current "wait & see' shit from the Feds. I believe in agressive treatment for any virus. My opinion?
GET AHEAD OF THE CURVE AND FLATTEN IT.

How, though? We're managing the fever, working on food and fluids, but they straightup won't see her unless she's nearing unconsciousness.
Please love yourself.

Tell them her numbers are dipping below 90 ( and they could be), that she's not getting better, that her temp is going up ( it has), and you're bringing her in to be seen. Don't ask, just tell them she has met the criteria they set, and you are doing as they recommended. They may quibble when you are there, but just repeat that you are following the instructions you were given. That is your story and stick to it.

Smart lady.

Yeah. I guess I already knew that—I have to do it a lot with my own medical stuff—but needed the reminder. Thanks, all.
It's freaking ridiculous that that even needs to happen, but, well, that's our healthcare system I guess.
Oh and by the way, wife's got a 102 fever. She's been sick for 3 days but today's the day her temperature rose. Negative COVID tests: PCR yesterday, in-home today. Go figure. Might lend credence to George's guess about multiple illnesses.

Timing is a bit weird… Any other students sick?

I don't think it's that weird - loads of people in our office are testing positive at the moment. Probably more than at any point since 2020
I was only joking

No, I meant the first day in school… That would have been the most likely source, but COVID does take a few days to gestate. It makes it more likely to be something like strep along with COVID.

So???
Doc's in tomorrow; going then.
Was more or less okay today. No smoker voice, just coughing. Fever but stayed at about 100. My wife's still around 101.

Annnnd?
My wife's still around 101.
Probably doesn't look a day older than 35.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Negative for strep and COVID. They gave her some stuff for fever. As for the kiddo, she's coughing although not as bad, and sleeping less during the day, so, progress?
-
Progress.

Still has bad coughing fits, but they're less sporadic. They sound pretty bad at the time, but fortunately they're pretty short-lived. Still gettin' through it.
