Hi, as we are dealing with how to support each other living with two children and with grandparent support bubbles we need a set of guidelines to follow for the next 6 months.

Also one set of grandparents share a house with someone who isn't planning to get vaccinated.

.how can the schools and the GPS support us?

We know the children will need regular flow tests but how do we not become too isolated for such a long time period? We know we can  make sure no one with any illness comes into the house and temperature checks on arrival, handwashing too, ventilated rooms are ok if you don't feel the cold...any thoughts appreciated.

  • Hi good to see you seek advice from those that have been in this position previously, if you post in the stem cell transplant group you will get more experiences being share. here is the link

    I have not had a transplant but whilst going through treatment always took a common sense approach, risk assessing contact and making any changes to day to day life that would reduce the risk. With school age children it can be a bit more challenging, that's why posting in the SCT group is worth doing as the are others in that group who have young families.

    we all know this is a roller coaster ride, where we ride blind, never knowing where the highs and lows are
