So in true BM herpes fashion (the gift that keeps on giving) she gave our grandson Covid, yep, our little 4 month old little one.

So we can't see him of course.  He is hanging in there.  Had diarrhea and fever and was miserable a couple of days, he's better today SD said.  

Dumb bm went on a cruise to Mexico (how people still go on these with Covid still running is amazing)- tested positive after returning and got sick but not before seeing the baby of course and according to SD kissing him all over the face. You would think in her field of work she'd know better and isolate a few days until she could test-or at least maintain distance. 

Personally I flew out of the country for work- I tested before my flight, I tested 24hrs prior to my return flight as well.  I also planned to test today to just be extra safe-BM is vaccinated but has gotten COvid before, she also travels all the time and this is her 2nd cruise in 2 months.  I'm sorry, I personally dislike cruises before the pandemic.   Mexico has been notorious for very lax (non) entry requirements and a huge number of cases going back/forth.

I hope she feels like shit, honestly.  There's the risk also that MIL can get sick now too.  Ughhh.

Cruises are bad for the ocean.  Can't control stupid.  I hope BM feels horrible about what she did.  Is the skid upset with her?

You really can't fix stupid.

I sequestered for two years with the exception of a few consulting and interview trips and the rare grocery run.

We we're going to do a family Alaska cruise for my parents' 60th this year.  We chose another option due to COVID and the risk to everyone's health.

Prayers for recovery and a happy Easter.

Incredibly revolting but SD also allowed her mother to see the baby without a clean COVID test.

This is true, they are majority non-vaxers, bm did hers because her job required it.  Neither SD, her fiance, our his family did the vaccine.  Her fiance and his entire family had it when they were still living out of state, SD did not get it.  You would think it would matter.  None have been cautious, masking, etc.

SD wants to come by to have dh help her with her tires (learning to check pressure and inflate them). I told him she needs to wait till next week.  She could have it and not have symptoms too.  I recommended her and my MIL do the test to make sure they are ok.

I just did my 3rd test, it's now 5 days since I returned so wanted to do that one, it's negative. 

As to little guy, he's better, his nights are still tough but he's feeling better now poor guy.

Ugh! Even without COVID, you should never kiss a baby on the face. They can get a lot of other viruses that cause mild illness in adults, but can kill babies. Even the virus that causes cold sores can be fatal for babies. When my daughter was first born, in pre-vaccine covid days, it would drive me nuts that a) MIL insisted upon coming over and b) insisted upon putting her face right in my daughter's face. 

I hope that baby gets better soon.

Poor little baby Sad I hope he is feeling better. So, BM left her baby to go on a cruise, did I understand that correctly. 4 months old baby?

WOW,,,
