Things are going ok so far. She describes it as like having the flu at the moment. Low grade fever, a cough when she is up and about, a headache, body aches. We video chat every few hours, and I take things in to her as carefully as I can - sporting a mask and a shirt reserved for just going into her room. We don't use this time for talking...
She just took a long hot shower and ended up very short of breath. She managed to call to me and I ran up, opened the bathroom window to clear out the steam and got her inhaler to her. She was ok after a minute or so. This was our first sort of scary moment that we will need a little time to process.... In a panic I ran up without a mask on...
She is eating and drinking fine - even had two cups of coffee this morning.
So far the kids and I are feeling fine. I can't help but exaggerate every little ache and pain - I keep thinking, what was that? am I getting it now???
Sterilizing is a big concern. So many questions that I didn't and don't have answers to:
Thank you all for your well-wishes and prayers! We are down, but we are not out!!
- Does normal laundry process kill the virus on clothes?
- Use as hot of water as possible, detergent kills it too. Should be safe to mix with non-infected clothes (but i'm not....)
- Does dishwasher the virus kill on dishes?
- Best I can find is that they do because of the hot water used. I have also been using the "sanitize" setting on our dishwasher.
- Do disinfecting wipes kill it?
- It says on the side of the container that it kills H1N1 and flu virus, no clue otherwise.... Some articles lead me to believe it will not kill it. I still don't know what I am supposed to be wiping things down with.
- How do you take a drink to a patient without using a million cups a day and without infecting your kitchen?
- Still working on this one
- Will virus travel through HVAC?
- I don't know. Kids are in the basement where there are no vents. Thankfully the past few days have been nice and we have had the windows open
- Lock up the pets
They can't get it, but they can spread it through ocntact!
Andy,
Though it is a bit of a waste, an option for drinks is water bottles (disposable),
If she isn't drinking the water, empty the good water into a pitcher before pouring what ever drink she desires into the bottle.
Then having a separate trashcan for those bottles.
Just a thought that the roommates and I discuessed.
What about a detected cup or glass that you refill from a pitcher never touching the cup.Good thought - need to get me some of those! We generally use filtered water from our RO system.
