By day 4, most of the classic symptoms of Covid crept out — sore throat and high fever. On day 5, the fever subsided but Alycia started to have cough and a bad throat.
Since Alycia had a zero-symptom Covid infection three months ago and is now infected again, I think she got infected by Omnicron BA.5, the new subvariant. BA.5 is now dominant in the US and has already landed in our shores. I hope none of us in the house will get infected as BA.5 is highly contagious and much more contagious than the previous versions.
Alycia’s well fed and hydrated all day. She gets honey lemon juice in the morning and in the evening. Mid morning after her breakfast she downs a mug of thick matcha powder tea. And in the afternoon she downs a mug of fresh coconut water. In between she drinks lots of plain water. She has 3 main meals and snacks in between. Her room is sanitized twice a day. My life since Monday revolves around prepping her meals, buying coconut water, sanitizing her room and the house, washing/sanitizing the toilet after Alycia uses it, and washing my hands like a hyper OCD lunatic 🤧 😷
Day 5 brekkie – egg and kale mayo with multigrain bun, sweet corn and orange and thick matcha tea.Day 5 lunch – MIL bought healthy pan mee from an organic shop. Day 5 dinner – Alycia requested for bread with strawberry jam as her throat hurt badly. MIL boiled a big pot of watercress + loh hon guo cooling drink for everyone.Day 6 brekkie – chives and minced pork dumplings, veggies, red bean tong sui, black grapes, banana and thick matcha tea.Day 6 dinner – air fried mini drummets, braised duck and veggies. Fruit – guavas and watercress + loh hon guo drink.Air fried mini drummets marinated with turmeric powder, soy sauce, oyster sauce and corn flour.Day 7 brekkie – Gippsland strawberry and cream twist yoghurt with walnut and watermelon seeds, Sanwa soda crackers, jackfruit and blush pear. Day 7 lunch and dinner – Wantan noodles with broccoli + alfalfa sprouts, tau foo far and soy bean milk from Dao.

Hope Alycia is recovering well. She is very fortunate to have you prepare all those amazing meals each day. I wish I could have similar meals prepared for me everyday 🙂

Hi Alvin

I’m sure you’ll have the chance to be served like this too one day 😉
