I

'4-1-20 I thought perhaps I should update this page as the pages below are 1-3 years old and so much has changed in the last month.

My husband is a nurse and for that reason, at this time, much has changed in our household. As for most healthcare workers they are in harm's way and so are their families. We have taken precautions like many families but in our home we can not relax. My 83 year old mother lives with us so we have her set up to be independent of us and isolated from us. She now has a mini fridge and a microwave. We visit her in the backyard at a distance. In addition, we have also put my husband in a separate living space with a tarp in the hallway from the floor to the ceiling. He has his own room and bathroom separate from me and our son Adam. He no longer enters the rest of the house. We visit him on the front patio at a distance. I put his meals through the tarp where he eats alone or when it's not too cold we join him on the patio. This is a difficult time for all of us and we are all making sacrifices to keep each other safe. I miss you all and am sad that our school year is going to end with remote learning. However, it does feel like the safest thing we can do. Some may think it is an overreaction- I say let's hope it is an overreaction! Please stay safe and keep eachother safe-let's do our part and stay as isolated as possible.
