For anyone thinking of fostering kids, if you can't deal with the full scope of what human beings are capable of, I suggest you don't. I have seen first hand more than my fair share of things I never thought couldve happened outside of bad thriller movies.
The hardest part of fostering isn't dealing with the kids, or helping raise kids with severe emotional issues, or even the kids leaving after you got strongly attached. The hardest part is coming face to face with the worst our species is capable of and still trying to sleep at night.
I adopted my daughter from overseas but never had any dealings with her bio parents so my experience was far, far easier than yours despite dealing with various emotional and physical challenges over the years. Thank God your children have you!! My hat is off to both you and your wife and, yes, I imagine this would pretty much "seal the deal" with your upcoming court case. I'm sure that everyone on this site will say prayers on your behalf that your entire family stays safe and healthy...
Got some partial good news this morning. I am positive, but my wife is negative. Still waiting on the kids' results but all 3 are asymptomatic if positive. Still praying for the minor chance that I got it off their clothes after a visit and not from them directly. Id be ecstatic if I was the only one with it in the family.
@mas1581. Thanks for the update! Take good care of yourself. Lots of fluids and rest.
Thank you. I did get something today that I havent gotten in years.......a mid day nap. With 3 kids, that, alone, is worth getting covid for. Hahaha
My heart goes out to you ...
I have found that taking lots of Vitamin D really helps, and boosting the immune system for certain! The formulas of the amazing mycologist Paul Stamets really helped me through it Mas ... I highly recommend his expertise @ Fungi Perfecti...
Best wishes for your healing?
@mas1581. Bless your heart. It’s bad when you have to get sick to get a little rest and peace and quiet. Feel better soon!!! ?
Thank you, @jsr78, for correcting the bells palsy rumor. When I saw the first post on this subject, I suspected it was a red herring. I did some Internet research and saw it was indeed one of those misunderstood statistics. But didn't have time until now to respond.
Even if only the vaccinated had gotten Bells Palsy in those small numbers, it was still a percentage that fits what they call "background" data. In other words, in any empirical study, the subjects are expected to have some health issues pop up that occur regularly in the general population and have nothing to do with the vaccine. The Bells Palsy incidence in the vaccinated group was no different than is expected in the general population.
The problem we have with the vaccine is that we don't have enough of it and people are suffering/dying now. Plus that idiot T didn't buy more of the Pfizer vaccine.
Am I the only one who's tired as hell that we're still talking about #45, even on threads that should have nothing to do with him? Stop mentioning his name and he'll go away.
