Clarissa gets Covid

Lydia took this selfie during her quarantine before Clarissa got Covid and we allowed her to come out of isolation.

Because Ammon, Clarissa, and Mary are advised to quarantine something like seven days beyond Lydia’s quarantine, we had Lydia quarantining alone so that all of the kids could go back to school together. But on Sunday Clarissa came down with a 102.8 degree fever and tested positive for Covid, so we released Lydia from the guest room. She was starting to go a little stir crazy in there and was very, very glad to be allowed to play with her siblings again.

Abe and I slept with Clarissa Sunday night because we were worried about how high her fever was. Thankfully she responded very well to medicine and her fever came down after she took that.
