After school Lydia took an uncharacteristic nap, and that slightly alarmed me. She had been saying that her body felt a little off, but I told her she still had to go to school because she is going to miss so much in October. On Thursday she came home, fell asleep on the couch, and woke up feverish. I tested her in the evening for Covid and it came out positive.
I felt so bad for Lydia, who was pretty miserable. I also felt bad because we’d had two play dates to our house this week, and I had to call the parents and tell them the bad news. I hope their kids don’t get sick.
On the upside, I am really grateful that if the kids are going to get Covid, they are getting it now instead of in North Carolina or Greece. That would be so much harder.
