Mental health and Covid

I love my family so much.... For the past 5-6 days we have been battling what we thought was a head cold but hubby tested positive for covid. Of course the moment we started feeling sick we do what we always do even before 2020. Stay home. My 1yr old started off with being sick. Its stuck around the longest with him because of teething. No coughing or anything just a waterfall of snot coming out of his nose and 3 teeth breaking through. My 3.5 yr old had a small cough and a stuffy/runny nose. He was over it day 4. I have had just a migraine and a bunch of sneezing, I'm also pregnant. My husband has been able to keep it out of his lungs, and its just attacking his sinuses. My mom also lives with us and it has hit her the hardest. Day one she had a cough and it went down into her lungs in just a couple hours. She started back up her prednisone to kick what she thought was just seasonal bronchitis. My mom and husband both have SEVERE asthma. I have mild asthma. I'm 4th or 5th generation with it. It would be the second time covid has come through our house. 1st time was Dec 2019. It attacked my 1 yr old who was 1 month old at the time, my husband and I. It hung on hubby for months. I'm so anxious this time around because of how hard its hitting my mom and even though hubby has kept it out od his lungs so far he is worn out from fighting it. So I am on kid duty 24/7 with no breaks or help from either of the other adults right now. Normally I can get 30+ a day for a shower or a nap. I really do love my kids, bless his heart my 3.5yr old is being so sweet and not doing any of his normal crazy hyper boy antics, but my 1yr old is making up for it and doing enough for both of them. Because of the set up in our bedroom our bed is up against the wall on one side of the small bedroom and our toddler is against the other wall. Hubby usually sleeps against the wall as I am claustrophobic and my belly is growing so not much room there on a queen bed with two bigger people. But he has to sleep next to the nebulizer so thats on the nightstand... My usual side. I tried sleeping on the wall side. Massive panic attack. So I am on night 3 of sleeping on the couch. And I've been breaking down all day and night. I want this sickness out of my house already. It hurts so much seeing my family sick. And then I can't sleep next to hubby is heart breaking. Yes I choose the couch over another panic attack, but it hurts. Not to mention hubby is getting antsy with staying home and not working. He is security so there is no working from home. And Biden removed the payments to cover the 2 week quarantine if testing positive. So my hubby has no pay coming in right now and it is affecting him mentally so much. Ok rant/wandering thoughts over. Just keep us in your prayers would be appreciated
