COVID

​Good morning!  I started feeling sick last night - scratchy throat and minor runny nose.  My husband tested positive for COVID this week so I took a home test this morning and it was positive for COVID.  Our daughter has a terrible sore throat and is staying home from conditioning camp today.  We haven’t tested her but she almost certainly has COVID.  Our son shows no sign of illness so far and we are hoping to keep it that way!

Interestingly, our daughter had the vaccine and 1 booster, I had the vaccine and 2 boosters and my husband had the vaccine and 3 boosters.  This is my husband’s 3rd time getting COVID, this is my second time and our daughter’s 4th time.  Now for the fascinating part - we did not have our son vaccinated because of all the risks associated with the vaccine in young boys as well as his extreme fear of needles.  Our son has never had COVID.  He has been sick before, tested numerous times and has never had a positive COVID test.  Two years ago three of us picked up COVID on vacation.  Despite sharing a small hotel room and being around us 24/7 for a week before we cane home, our son never developed COVID.  So, either the vaccine increases your chance of getting the virus or our son is immune to it!😁

As viruses go, COVID feels like a cold.  In my experience, it is a nuisance, but I’ve had much worse illnesses - strep throat and mono are among them.  I know with MS I am supposed to be more vulnerable because I am on an immuno-suppressant but I haven’t had any trouble getting through it and I am praying this time will be no different.

I know people who have really struggled with COVID and had to be hospitalized and put on oxygen.  I believe the Lord is protecting me and keeping me from getting THAT sick.  I may be compromised by MS but I am still needed by my family.☺️

Well, I will keep you posted.  Praying this is no big deal like before.  🙂
