Wheeler marked her first Easter away from her mom this year, but they will be able to celebrate Mother's Day together. Wheeler's mom plans to stay with her daughter in Houston for a few weeks to continue watching Harper as her daughter continues to work on the front lines.
\"We have really good PPE for me to protect myself and I take precautions when I get home, like taking off my work clothes and showering,\" said Wheeler, adding that her hospital has also not seen a surge of COVID-19 cases. \"And I've tested negative for COVID-19.\"
The past seven weeks gave Harper and his grandmother time to bond, according to Wheeler.
Before he left his grandmother's house in Lafayette, he was given a Sesame Street-themed goodbye parade from friends and family.
\"I'm an only child so this is her only grandchild,\" said Wheeler. \"It was just a lot of joy for her to really bond and take care of him alone.\"
