After my husband showed worrying symptoms, I took the test and was diagnosed with the coronavirus, all while having a 2-year-old at home.
The symptoms arrived overnight without warning and seemingly out of nowhere.
My husband’s fever fluctuated for three days. He also had headaches, sweats, body aches, and chills. But in a stroke of luck, his fever never went above 101 degrees, and while the tightness in his chest lingers, he seems to have a mild case. So I took our son, Conor, and kept him occupied. As I drove home, I got a text from him saying I did “perfectly” and that he would have results in two to three days. In the meantime, Andy and I had to assume that we had COVID-19 and to practice complete isolation -- no opening the door, no walks for the dog, and. Oof. While I tried to wait for the results, I also checked my email every few minutes for days.
So what is it like to have two parents sick, one with a confirmed case of coronavirus, and a healthy toddler?Tough. There are many other words I could use, but that seems to be the best. I would say that one of the strangest things about this virus that we have experienced is the fluctuations. Since the beginning, one minute we have felt hit by a truck and the next like nothing is wrong. That has gone on for 12 days for Andy. I’m on day 10, and it’s still the same.
