Our 10 Yr Old Was Just Diagnosed with Covid-19

@merpreb, Thank you for asking, Merry. Yes, Our little guy really never got very ill but did test positive for the antibodies. A re-test for the rest of family showed negative also so they must have diagnosed his very early. The basement isolation for him; separate meals; no contact except with mom seems to have worked in their favor. So scary and unnerving. We are sharing their experience with others because his initial symptoms were mild. Another good friend of theirs in Evanston, IL had their family tested just as a precaution before leaving on a visit to a sister's. One child tested positive and was totally asymptomatic...no cough, fever, stomach ache, nada. My heart goes out to all facing decisions and choices with the re-openings of schools starting soon.

@fiesty76 The cautionary tale that your family is evidence of, only proves to me that We can't take anything for granted. That is why I get so irritated/incensed when seeing people flaunting the guidelines. It makes no common sense.
Very glad to hear your grandson is doing well. Tough choices ahead for many.

@fiesty76- Sorry about my delay in answering. You must be very relieved. Poor little guy, and Mom. Great news!

Fiesty76. So glad everyone is doing well. It must be a relief. I have friends with school age children and they are very concerned about the decision about reopening school. One got accepted in the home school program, but there are many on waiting lists.... A friend's granddaughter will start college in Colerado, and so far they have not receive any information about living arrangements in dorms. The college is staying firm on start date.
