An American Idol alum is celebrating the safe return home of her newborn baby after he contracted COVID-19. Casey Goode, also known as Quigley, gave birth to her son, Max, on September 18th. But that joy quickly turned to fear after Max tested positive for coronavirus, or COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Goode has been sharing the family’s journey on Instagram, where she announced Max’ diagnosis. “Max tested positive for COVID-19 early Saturday am,” she wrote. “We took him into the ER after he was running a fever in the middle of the night. We had confirmation that he was exposed from direct contact with a medical professional who had cared for him earlier in the week. This has been a total shock to us. I am currently quarantining with baby Max in the PICU. They are treating me as if I have been exposed and are likely positive as well, although I am showing no symptoms yet. Please send good energy to our little bub so he recovers fast. Not sure what happens next from here… but I expect to be offline for a while as we recover.”<\/p>\n

Max tested positive for COVID-19 early Saturday am. We took him into the ER after he was running a fever in the middle of the night. We had confirmation that he was exposed from direct contact with a medical professional who had cared for him earlier in the week. This has been a total shock to us.
