Holly and I have covid. we are isolating. we're taking good care. some updates
Good morning angel friends, i'm sitting up, after laying down on our couch for a while this morning. we're very sad and sorry to share this news. Holly and i have covid. She took 2 tests. i began to come down with a scratchy throat, i tried to take care of it with hot tea, hot chocolate. i woke up at 3:44am this morning with severe chills,and acheyness, feeling week. Holly has same symptoms. i suffer from syncope, and this morning i almost fainted here on our couch again. i used the oximeter to check my heart rate and oxygen. my heart rate was 140. my stomach felt woozy, like 2 whirlpools going opposite directions at the same time in my stomach. i thought i was gonna get sick, twice i tried too, but didn't get sick, i was worried about fainting, so i put a pillow on side of couch we have here, and i layed my head down. Holly got me some gatorade (i swear, it's such a saver of me in those moments to sip some gatorade)and my mom got me 2 pieces of toast. i was able to eat half of half piece of toast, and sipped gatorade. i was worried, but thankfully condition stabilized. Holly put the oximeteron my finger, my heart rate was down to 104, more healthy level. Holly has a cough, she has asthma,and has good medicine that is very helpful, including antibiotics, and inhaler. i'm sitting up after an hour or so of laying down on our couch, Tiger came over and was comforting me too. awww. i got my cell on,Holly does too. Alyssa brought over more gatorade, saltine crackers, and some oatmeal. it's very nice of her. i had a sore throat in recent days,and Holly came down with some symptoms too. we were hoping it was allergies, but it's covid. this is all happening very fast. today is baking friday. my mom is notifying our family, and Holly and i are in our downstairs apartment. we don't want any of our family members getting it. Holly and i are keeping positive. She took her medicine, and we're gonna keep positive through this rought ime. family is gonna pick up some water bottles for us. we're masking up. life is gonna be different right now, getting our health back, is #1. we're gonna get better. we'll miss baking today, we had a really good boardwalk foods theme planned, but will save it for another week, definitely. i couldn't sit up between 6:45am toabout 8:10am. i'm up now, and Holly is sitting over in bedroom. we have AC on, fans,and our window is glowing from the sunshine. we're gonna be home this weekend, into next week. Holly's antibiotic is helping her, and the tylenol are helping me. i'm gonna take 2 more, around 2pm. i don't want theday to be a loss, it's baking friday today. i am gonna continue to rest, and later on, if i'm sitting up, i will write a short update, of course, and i could put some classic baking friday pictures in a journal. i'd like to do that, if i am physically ablel to sit up. we love you all very much our dear angel friends. Holly and i are sticking strong together, like 2 acorns. we're gonna get better. we've even put a movie on, to help us keep in good spirits. We aren't sure, how we got covid. it may have been at the August 10th, birthday party, we're not sure, we're gonna put our energy into getting better, an hour at a time :) i'm up here, and will spend some time here on ds :) Tiger is laying down on our table next to the couch. we're having gatorade, water,keeping hydrated. all of our other family members are fine, and in good health. it's really baffling,how Holly and i have contracted covid, but we're gonna keep focused forward, living forward an hour and day at a time, to get back our full health <3please keep us all in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you angel friends :) We love you all very much, and care deeply about you all. we're gonna have to pause lots of things in our lives right now, but looking forward to getting back to our full health,and those spirit soaring days again :)
We wish everyone, a good day :) Keep safe, and healthy everyone :)
-never lose hope :)
