Joe and I are used to being a tag team when it comes to caring for our children and in regards to who is with whom when doing the doctor thing. This past week really got to me though as the risk for infection becomes higher all over including our state. We cannot be transmitters of this pandemic as Emily's SIOD disease keeps her with a severe immune deficiency and it would be a huge risk of morbidity.
That being said there are times we have to take her in to be seen and there are times where telehealth will suffice. Joe took her into her oncologist one day and I stayed with Taylor-Jo (her younger sister) at home while she did remote learning, then next day I took Emily to her infusion and labs while Joe stayed home with Tay and the next day both of the girls had telehealth and our Morkie, Pumpkin jumped in on the action.
We are watching a few things on Emily in regards to oncology and kidney, yet nothing to get too excited about right now. As Joe and I continue to tag team we hope it provides some solace to other families going through a medical journey as well, that we are not in this alone.
