I received results this morning that I’m COVID-19 positive.
On Friday, my mom sent me a message on my watch saying that her Dr tested her at her normal checkup, I was in the lab at the time and just finished up my duties at template stage for testing a few thousand specimens (mainly for COVID). After I left that stage, I immediately let the director know and I was sent home/for a test. We both received calls this morning confirming positive results.
Now, my ex husband is flipping out and trying to get custody of our daughter during the quarantine period- whom has been with me the entire time. She had a low grade fever yesterday. I kept trying to talk sense into him. Her school nurse and pediatricians office have both given me advice for HER to quarantine with ME. He started threatening to bring lawyers into it, so I tried to get ahold of mine. I haven’t received a call back from my lawyer yet. This seems to be common sense to me and the most rational option. She stays with me and we quarantine together at my apartment. Whereas, if she goes with him, then him and his girlfriend will be exposed, as well as anyone they come into contact with! I’m alarmed with how irrational he is being. Her school nurse and pediatricians office told me that there is no need for having her tested, because she likely already has it!
He was supposed to get her the week before Christmas and Christmas Eve this year and seems to think that prior court orders can override the whole situation. He’s furious right now. I can’t find anything specifically stating that positive COVID results while in custody of one parent can overrule court orders- maybe because it’s common sense? I’m not asking for legal advice here, but if I’m making sense? Do I make sense? Is this not common sense here?
Legally, he doesn’t get her until Wednesday anyway, but has told me that he’s coming to get her today after he gets off work- I told him absolutely not. I don’t feel very well myself right now and have a low grade fever. Should I call the police if he comes over here? He’s never been here and I have expired restraining orders on him? I’m trying my best to take care of the both of us and think that I can do this alone. There are people that have offered to drop off necessary items and that are staying in touch. But, he isn’t thinking about who he will end up exposing for the next few weeks! He will get it himself.
On top of that, these women at my work
are being majorly catty about it in our group chat and it’s making me feel worse. Accusing me of knowing my mom was being tested prior to coming to work and that their families might get it (and I didn’t know until I had already worked 6 hours in the lab and in full PPE most of that day). Yet, we have a much higher risk of getting COVID than healthcare workers. I don’t believe that this came from my lab. My brother, who has a heart failure and COPD, got sick around the same time as
my mom (they diagnosed him with a URI and no test prior to the day that she went) also coaches for a school that has been shut down because of so many cases. My mom takes my daughter to school and picks her up the days that I cannot. Both him and my mom sound fine now. Hopefully! Then again, this could be all my fault.
I think this is a normal thing. Beating someone who has COVID to a pulp. Have at it.
