The post I was hoping to AVOID.....

 I was really hoping we were going to escape this pandemic without this, but unfortunately we are not.  Peyton tested positive for COVID the Monday after Christmas.  She had a stuffy nose for a day or two and then lost her taste and smell.  She was suppose to play in a basketball tournament all week, so I found her a rapid test Monday morning.  Sure enough, came back positive.  She has since then been quarantined to her room.  I bring her food up to her room in an N95, and anytime she has to come out to go to the bathroom we make her wear an N95.  We have moved the other two kids to the basement.  

We are now all stuck in this house in quarantine!!!!  Mike did get his vaccine a few days before this (I DID tell him to take a selfie when getting it so I could blog about it, but he didn't listen).....healthcare workers get to go to and from work as long as they are not experiencing symptoms.  So Mike has been going to work and the rest of us are trapped in the house for a while.  

It is now Thursday and Peyton is feeling fine.  She does not have a stuffy nose any more and she said she can taste and smell SOME things.....so she's getting better.  Now we just pray the rest of us don't get it.  

We have no idea where she got it because of the timing of it.  The only people she has seen are her basketball teammate and us.  Besides the ice skating the night before, but they were masked appropriately in the car the entire time and masks are required at ice skating too....so I don't know.  Either one of us has it and is asymptomatic or one of her teammate is asymptomatic....it's the only thing we can come up with.  


My waitress costume.....

Her pediatrician wanted to do a televisit with both her and I.....so we did it outside on the porch, while masked....
