day two

bowie slept through the night and seems like her normal self.  no fevers for the kids and ryder is still asymptomatic.  the kids are watching lots of TV, tablet time and playing.  i am on the sofa feeling like crap.  my throat is much better today, but still achy and lots of chills.  i have had a fever off and on all day.  the highest being 101.6

i am also starting to develop a dry cough.  i retested both jarad and myself.  and you can see my test line is much darker today. jarad still remains negative.

i've been giving a lot of thought to our initial tests.  i think these rapid tests provide a lot more information than i would have thought. ryder's test came in super dark and immediate and bowie's came in a little lighter and mine faint.  i think that has to do with the amount of viral load that the test is picking up.  also, when ryder went to school on tuesday, half of his class is missing.  my belief is that ryder got it from school and was the carrier in our house, although he has been asymptomatic.  if bowie had not felt poorly on tuesday afternoon, i would not have known to test ryder.  and i would have not tested myself until wednesday when i really started to feel badly.
