So Alex visited last week right

So she's home now, just tested positive for covid

Love that

Katie was sick over the weekend (Alex went home Thursday)

And that sick caused a pain spike

Katie went to the ER last night and the hospital is keeping her overnight tonight

SHE'S FINE? They're trying to manage her pain spike

"Fine"

We asked the hospital to give her a covid test, just in case but

Katie's birthday is tomorrow

So she's probably getting home and just gonna be stuck in bed all day

It's ass

Not at all Alex's fault

But just an ass situation

I guess I'll just update here with how things go. We're hoping Katie tests negative, she's already over the worst of it

Scott's planning to visit her in the hospital but we're telling him not to until the covid test results come back

oh no

Yeah.. I'm pretty worried about her mental state :c

It's just a lot of bad back to back

I went on a walk earlier this evening and bumped into the neighbor who might be a druid in disguise

She offered to bring over something tomorrow for Katie's birthday, or whenever she gets home from the hospital

Katie made her a key lime pie for her own birthday so I think she feels compelled to return the favor

Katie will be really happy about that. So at least there is some good mixed in with all of this

Katie has covid

She's in the hospital for at least another day

So she might be home tomorrow but my dad suspects she won't be

Katie sent me birthday wishes which was very sweet of her. She's still not coming home yet, maybe tomorrow she thinks

Ironically that means we can go out to dinner tonight, if she had come home we would've had to look after her

It's a mixed bag but hopefully she'll be feeling a bit better by the time they finally let her come home

Katie comes home tomorrow morning

Apparently covid isn't really contagious after 3 days so she's safe to come home without being a threat lol

Also she's feeling better to an extent that they're comfortable letting her come home now, so all of these things are good things

Katie's home

We might do a birthday thing for her this weekend, it depends how she's feeling but it'd be nice if we got to

Spending any birthday in the hospital sucks :c

i'm glad she's feeling better, and it's good to know covid doesn't spread after the third day or so

Ya we know a lot more about it by now I guess

Stares at China's months long quarantines back in 2022

y-yeah...

Covid stops spreading after 3 days?

i guess the main danger is people spreading it before they even know they have it

which is, admittedly, a serious problem

Ya it's not contagious after 3 days

You can still test positive but you are not contagious

According to UVA and INOVA hospitals anyway
