It's Friday nite and I'm looking forward to a good restful weekend. I haven't felt good all day so this weekend should be a good time to rest.

That's what I thought but it didn't happen this way.

About 8p my oldest asked for hot Cocoa and I gave him some. He said I don't feel good after he drank it and he threw up.

I felt a fever coming. With aches and pains and colds too.

I was sick, hubby was at work and two little ones with me...

The weekend was a blur....

I was achy, weak and noticed I had rashes on my legs and arms. My face had some too.

I thought can it be Covid?

To top this off, I was sneazing and was fighting a cold too. On Monday, I was going to be tested

My little one who's a year plus just out of the blue felt warm and threw up twice in 2 hours. And then he was whiny. I called his doc to be tested.

We all got tested and we all were positive for Covid.

For The rash that came, I applied calamine lotion to it so that the itch will not be so bad. It helped some but, I'd confess, it was wierd.

Imagine having heat rash in the winter?

My worry was not for me, but for my littlest one. He was whiny and fussy, kinda not wanting to eat too. My oldest said the milk and food tasted funny. That's when I started to pray.

I had no energy to chase them to eat, if the food tasted funny, what will I do? How does a toddler tell you how they feel?

I prayed. I had people praying.

And whats sad about this disease is no one tells you what to take to fight it.

I had asked the doc what to give the little ones he said vitamin C, vitamin D, it's sunny today let them bask in the sunlight... Your child is sick and you can't do much?

We prayed.

I gave Tylenol to the little ones and I took Tylenol for the fever.

They ate a bit here and there snd I gave juice without shame or fear. As long as they were drinking I didn't ration it. I got Pedialyte for them and got Lucozade boost for me.

I drank water too and made some hot and spicy goat meat soup too.

A friend of ours brought us some spicy chicken curry. I enjoyed it, one thing I didn't loose was my taste

My sleep was off totally.

I got my strength back some but I'm taking things easy.

It's crazy it will take being sick to get rest!
