R - wife has COVID, still symptomatic, mom/dad tested positive but doing better, me and kids negative
-----------
Whew. Been a whirlwind of a week or so in the nirad3 household. As I mentioned way upthread, my wife was given a positive test result and has been feeling lousy since. Mainly just fatigued, but still has no taste/smell. She can actually taste grapes, of all things, though.
She started to feel a bit better, so we decided to move forward with our trip to the SoCal mountains (Big Bear) to stay at my buddy's cabin. I had informed him of my wife's diagnosis and he was OK with us staying there. Shrug.
So last Wednesday we head up (2 hour trip) and halfway up the mountain my wife starts to get anxious about going. She realizes the thinner air up in the mountains could be a bad thing. So we took her home and I turned around and headed back up with my kids. All three of us had no symptoms at all (except for one day my daughter felt a little "sniffly") so we figured we could stay away from my wife for a few days and enjoy the snow. My wife had bought snowboarding lessons for my almost-10-year-old daughter and really wanted her to go and experience it.
And then turns out both my mom and dad tested positive. Not good, especially since my dad's in chemotherapy. We gave thought of coming home Thursday but none of us felt bad at all (yes I realize you can be asymptomatic). Decided to stay.
Wife started feeling a little better. Still fatigued and loss of taste/smell, but better. Mom and dad also started feeling better.
Get home on Saturday and I start getting a bit of a headache and congestion. Uh oh. I got tested Sunday, and got the kids rapid tested yesterday. They were both negative, and I just got my results: also negative.
Probably a good idea that I got my kids out of the infected house for four days.
So glad my dad - especially - is feeling better. Doctor gave him and my mom z-packs for their symptoms, and those helped tremendously.
Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
