Covid, kids & coping PIPPA’S YEAR OF CHANGE
‘Out of the blue, he rang just to say he thinks I’m awesome’
Pippa Wetzell has just come out of home isolation after she and her children came down with Covid along with thousands of other New Zealanders in recent weeks.
But she looks happy and healthy, and admits she is quite keen to get out to the supermarket after leaving it up to husband Torrin Crowther, who managed to escape the virus.
“Our daughter got it first and then we all came down with it,” she tells. “When you have three children, there are just so many more opportunities for the virus to come home. I wasn’t too bad; it felt like a nasty head cold, and it was nice to stay home in bed with it actually, to rest and recover.”
For Pippa’s family, like many, dealing with Covid has meant spending more time together and for her that’s noand so her children Brodie, 15, Cameron, 12, and Taj, 11, were often used as props.
