'...my kids went to family down in Tennessee on Wednesday, guess who came home sick?!? We have 2 positives and another sick, no point in testing 3rd because it is obvious. So here i am walking around my own house with a mask on, 91% alcohol spray in my hand/pocket having to sanitize everything anyone touches. Why I have a mask on is because I am the doctor that runs this hospital and I have to stay well, so I keep the house sanitized multiple times a day, take food to rooms, refill drinks a million times a day. I have so much to do and now I have to do my things along with make sure no one crosses paths in the house. My husband is out of work for 10 or more days (that will hurt later).

I have to watch my oldest child Iike a hawk. Because he has asthma, the common cold puts him down, and he gets scared because he can't breath...I have to worry and stress to make sure he and everyone else will be okay. Constantly checking on everyone, making sure they are not feeling worse. Continued stress and anxiety from every aspect of them being sick.

All because everyone else wants to play guilt trip card on me and say how they don't see the kids as much. No one ever looks at how it effects anyone but them. They do not see a child has anxiety and has a huge fear of dying. They won't see the stressing out he will do if he gets worse, but I will. I will be here to comfort him and assure him of life. No one sees how I run around like a chicken with my head cut off. Nope, no one sees all that. They don't see the runny noses, the hot baths being made, the medication needed every so many times. They don't see how much it is to care for an entire family with different needs and wants, and only being one person to do it. ...'


This is what it's like in a home with COVID. We can only hope that the mom doesn't get sick. The disease is real, folks. Take it seriously, dammit!
