Well it happened, both kids are sick. The oldest started with a head ache, then ear ache and now worsening cough. Oddly his temperature is so low the thermometer keeps giving ERR or barely reads 35c. The youngest woke up with a fever today.
So now they're scheduled for a Covid test later today. First experience with the testing system. There were only 4 slots available to book in the next town over (no local testing). I quickly snatched up two at the same time slot so we might get results by Monday. If the 4th wave is such a concern, why only 4 slots available for the day at 8 AM in the morning and none locally.
Hopefully it's not Covid or they'll be home for at least 10 days plus a lot of trouble incoming. It's likely just some other bug as cases are low in our area, but better to know for sure.
Got advised by telehealth to go to a health care center, 3 hour wait, but he got a swab there so cancelled the scheduled ones. The doctor says they're most likely fine, can go back to school if no further symptons and test comes back negative. We got to sit in a separate waiting room for contagious diseases. Which was fine, lot of spacing and only one other parent with kid there, while the main waiting room got pretty crowded.
It's amazing how fast kids feel better if they get to stay home from school! The oldest stopped coughing, youngest's fever went down. The fastest working medicine is a day off from school....
Only the oldest got the test, still pretty nasty. As the nurse described it, ever got pool water up your nose? It's like that, but worse. |
How did it end in the end? Hope you’re all ok.
