Gabe does have Covid.....the Department of Health called yesterday morning......I was pretty sure he did all along, but had been perplexed by the two negative tests......however the third was positive...... the antibiotic they gave him helped, he most definitely had a sinus infection on top of it...... He is doing really well this morning......almost back to himself and I am grateful......he was exposed to Covid directly, and I did not know about the exposure until he already had it.....and I am grateful his immune system is doing its thing......I am still keeping us on a vitamin regimen consistently......trying to get good rest, and get outdoors when we can and I feel like it all helps.......Mads and I are still good, and this weekend it will be two weeks since he started showing symptoms......I am hopeful and hoping we escape it, because if not it will mean a couple weeks of summer soaring by with us stuck in:(.......but I am trying to stay present and grateful......not go down the what if road........have been trying to just accept this time home, doing things that need to be done here......I worked on the play room/ my gym some and organized some things that needed to be organized........I did some meditations.....worked out.......played with Madeline......took care of Gabe......did my things.....I am planning on getting them out in the woods today......and maybe we can swim tomorrow at my mom's house.......nobody is home so it is safe to do so.......mowing the lawn sometime in between;-) always mowing my lawn, LOL:) but I just have to accept whatever comes.....not fight it.....not overthink it.....just roll with it.......and I am learning to roll.....and have been since all of this......when I get tossed in the ocean, I don't fight......I just lay back and float......As an aside Gabe may in fact be the best patient on the planet......he has been sick a lot in his life....not so much lately but before his tonsils came out........and he just accepts it all......rests in his room.....watches his TV and doesn't complain. Just rolls.........floats......knowing he will get better and trusting it.......when he is complaining fiercely about something I know it is pretty serious.......Mads is not the greatest patient, she is used to feeling good and being pretty healthy, so when she gets sick she is shocked by it and sorta hates it LOL:) Contrast right........like I talked about the other day......we need both in our lives to understand the other........I have worked through the lonely feeling that being stuck in, and rolling through Covid again has brought forward.......sat with it.....no choice really, because here I am:) and lots of good realizations and stuff has stepped forward for me to look at, as I move forward.......stuff that makes sense......so this forced solitude came bearing fruit.......it always does if you let it......so this morning I am grateful, grateful for Gabe's restored health...........grateful Mads and I feel good, grateful for another summer day to catch my breath, grateful just grateful..........
