These dark circles tell a much bigger story then just his journey. If you could see picture after picture like I have of children with Long Covid, you will quickly notice the dark circles around their eyes. These once healthy children now struggle to do things that most children can. Even a playdate with friends is easily a 2-3 day setback.
Attending school reguarly is also a challenge. Fifteen months out and he struggles attending school consistently. I silently celebrated that he was able to attend four days of school last week. I still had to check him out early one day because of fatigue, and check him in late 2 or 3 times, but this feels like a huge milestone. Since December 2021, this is his third week that he has hit the milestone of four days at school, even if those weeks look messy. One mostly full week of school is worth celebrating, right? I'll take it as a win. What do his doctors say can be done? Nothing. We just need to keep managing his symptoms and this is what managing his symptoms looks like.
