I'm telling you all this, because Son #2, the Air Canada Pilot who just returned from the UK., will not be visiting us between Christmas and New Years-- He picked up the new variant---he will test again, but his one test did show a marginal positive so he is at home, isolating , and feels pretty tired and sick--like a head cold-- sore throat--and stuffy nose. He said this morning, "You and Dad don't want to get this Mom!" He went on to tell me how contagious this virus is!-- Too bad too , as he has travelled all over the world for the past 2 years and never picked it up-- and now----He has it--
I am OK now--reading all your messages yesterday helped me a lot-- We are not alone--seems like we are all taking precautions ----kinda a different Christmas!
We are expecting snow to-day, which is a good thing--It will cover the ice that we have so much of outside--And, Lord love a Duck! --I do hope that you are shouting from the rooftops, that we made it through another Pandemic Christmas! --
Sorry to hear your son has Covid. He is strong, he will be OK. But you really did make the right decision to stay home. Older people find it more difficult to fight it. So just keep being safe. You have a lot of lives dependent on you. Sending hugs and prayers. Willow
ReplyDeleteYes Willow--It is the variant that he has-- He has a sore throat--very stuffy head--no fever--and feels extremely tired!
DeleteWe did! We are survivors... living to meet another day is a good thing! Keeping in touch via tech is better than catching the virus, especially for us "old-er" folk. The local numbers here add up to 3/4 of the deaths from this nasty thing coming among those 65 and older.
ReplyDeleteSo you made the right choice. Hope your Son#2 heals quickly and fully. He's vaccinated if he works for the airline, right? So even though he's miserable, he should be OK in a few days.
Barb-=-Yes he is triple vaccinated--isolating in his bedroom --=so far his wife (a flight attendant) has not caught it--
DeleteI'm so sorry about your son, and hope he heals quickly. I have a brother-in-law who has been in the hospital for 2 months now. He is finally making some progress but it's been touch and go for awhile so it's good to hear better news. I did get together with 3 of my children but we all wore masks. Honestly, I would have rather stayed home! I totally understand how hard this all is - I'm so tired of hearing about Covid! I'm glad your daughter was able to make you feel a little bit better! Take care.
ReplyDeleteIt sure has been a difficult Christmas--- for all of us, hasn't it?-- I hope and pray they yer BIL recovers-- Son#2 is triple vaccinated and hopefully that will keep him out of hospital--
Delete🏠 We made it through another pandemic Christmas!📣🎉
ReplyDeleteYou should be so proud of your smart and wise children. So sorry tears were shed!
So many hugs coming your way: ❤️❤️❤️
Hope son 2 recovers quickly & completely 🙏🙏🙏
We all made it through and thats good. It was different but not so bad. I'm sorry you cried.
ReplyDeleteBunches of hugs Lynda. ❤❤❤❤
Hoping pilot son has a speedy recovery.
Stay safe and well.
It is a different kind of world out there. We did see family, but now sit and wonder if we got anything. Haven't seen family in 2 years and to hubby he said it was worth it. So far all is still healthy here and I'm praying that will remain throughout the rest of the year. You did right by not going over there. Your cases of it are climbing daily and it's just not worth the risk. Your daughter is so right, spring is coming in 83 days and you'll see all your kids and grandkids this spring and summer. The chaos will begin all over again, and YOU and HIMSELF will be there and that's what's most important.
ReplyDeleteTake care and enjoy the calm while you can.
Awwww, so sorry DS #2 is feeling so poorly w/the Covid. Sounds like his symptoms are typical. They are exactly what my DS had mid-December. The good news . . . he is over it. Just some lingering fatigue. No loss of taste or smell. That's a bonus, too. Sending healing vibes your son's way! And for sure, you nor Himself want to get it. That's how Jason and I feel, too.
ReplyDeleteHUGS and thanks for sharing that you felt less alone .

So sorry your air pilot is sick from this stronger variant! Hope his wife does not come up with it, but it would not be a surprise. Tired of Covid, is like folks during the Depression, tired of it, but you have to go on! And so many more humans now, then there was then.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and Himself to stay free.
I'm so sorry, Lynda, but better safe than sorry.
ReplyDeleteNow we just have to make it thru New Year's. My boyfriend will be coming from Columbus! I am feeling better today too (from the bronchitis). Went to work and 5 people had taken off for the holidays, so just a skeleton crew today.
Hi Lynda, Sorry to hear about Son #2....our niece and her husband both tested positive as well on Christmas Eve. She is a pharmacist, vaccinated....said she has never felt so sick...they wisely stayed home! Seems it is everywhere😱‼️ Your daughter gave good advice and I know it was difficult for you BUT you survived👍‼️❤️ Eissa7
ReplyDeleteI was alone too - just me and my dog! It was ok - at least I stayed well. You have a lot of snow. We had some today but now may get some freezing rain. Now Christmas celebrations are over and you're still healthy!
ReplyDeleteThank God your son was able to find out. I hope his recovery is swift and easy. Take care, Hang in there, We all have to...even the Queen Lots of Love.
ReplyDeleteSo many miracle...family, friends, food, freedom, the love we share with our pets...and health. Praying for your son, dear.
ReplyDeleteIt is said that the fittest are the ones to survive. I just got off my exercise bike!
We got some snow overnight, too. Not too much, but it took 20 minutes to clear and the windows and wiper blades.
We gotta look ahead to spring! {{{HUGS}}}
Sorry your son has the variant........praying he gets well soon.
ReplyDeleteI just read all your blogs I had missed due to being at daughters'
house....she has a tin roof and gets no internet nor cell service.
Would drive me straight crazy.
Things usually work out for the best! Looks like that was the case and God was watching out for you!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that your daughter convinced you to stay home. She is a wise woman. Sometimes it pays to listen to those younger than we are.

We were alone this year, too! One daughter in TN and the other In Singapore! Yep, we were lonely, just as everyone else but we do not want to catch or give this virus to anyone else, so better to be safe than sorry, for sure! We can do this!! Hugs from A very rainy San Francisco!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you didn't go and get the virus!! Stay safe. Hugs
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your son having covid, but am so glad he tested and didn't bring it to your house. The relatives that were supposed to test and then visit us have decided not to come. It's just not worth taking the risk.
ReplyDeleteHoping for your son to get better soon.
ReplyDeleteStill catching up!(((HUGS)))
