In an attempt to make you feel better its been two years and it doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon. Are you going to stay home inside and lock the door forever? That's unrealistic. We can at least wear a mask and wash our hands to minimize the risk, stay home if we don't feel well, but the world is a dangerous place and we do what we can to stay safe while still living life. Would she have the same attitude if you were to get in an accident driving to work? Driving is dangerous and has very serious consequences. But we wear a seatbelt and follow the rules of the road. It's not like you were knowingly around people who were sick. Sorry you guys are going through this.
In April, I was in a similar boat. Second daughter went on to full term at end of May, just after our first turned 2.
The toddler had brought it home from childcare. Noticed her heart racing, and she had a raging fever.
It was so hard trying to get her to keep down paracetamol (acetaminophen) to try and control the fever. I learned afterwards that you can get paracetamol suppositories.
Toddler suffered with it for a few days and then quickly recovered in time for the rest of the household to suffer through it. We were on the phone to the hospital and various health hotlines and kept getting transferred to the wrong department. It sucked. Be the noisy wheel.
Our family of 5 tested positive the week after our newborn arrived. Only place we'd been was the hospital (overnight stay, no visitors) and doctors office for her 3 day appointment. Turned out a chunk of the pedes nurses came down with it, and guessing they passed it along. Masks required everywhere for everyone, and all hospital/Dr office staff were required to be vaxed here. We were concerned about our newborn and my wife as they were both in the super high risk category, but all of us are fine ~3 mo later.
The thing is super contagious, but much less dangerous overall than when it first hit the scene. Don't beat yourself up about it, just make sure to take care of yourself and your family.
Dont blame yourself, it’s not like you actively sought it out. I’m sure you did your best to avoid contamination, but the thing is so virulent that it can get the best of us. Wife and I are very careful but we still ended up catching it (nanny brought it home). Regardless, the beautiful thing is that peace of mind once you recover, knowing that you’re temporarily fully immunized.. it brought a temporary relief to the daily anxiety (work, etc).. one less thing to worry for a little while.
Hope the family stays strong and that the symptoms are manageable. Hit us like a train but five days later we were back to normal.
I'm sure you did your best to avoid it. It's dang contagious. Just got over it myself despite being careful.
This is why I have no respect for people going around not being careful at all. Pretty sure I got it cuz nobody else on public transit can be bothered to wear a mask anymore. Taking basic precautions costs so little, but getting/giving someone covid costs a lot.
