Jamie posted a picture of her family snuggled into her bed as well as one image of her sick child sleeping and captioned the slideshow, "When we were at the hospital Hendrix was tested for everything under the sun to figure out what was making him so sick. We found out the next day that he has Covid."
"Well, he has Covid, adenovirus, and rhinovirus but when I heard Covid I was in absolute shock & instantly began crying."
Jamie said her in-laws had picked Hendrix up and stayed with him during his last seizure.
"Being that they're older & my FIL is diabetic, my heart sank knowing they'd been exposed," Jamie lamented.
"I am so thankful they've been vaccinated and already got the booster shot. Praying to God they don't get sick."
Jamie said her son's health crisis explains why she hasn't been posting much on social media.
"We spent the last few days completely offline trying to keep Hendrix's fevers under control bc he seems to have those seizures when his temperature gets high and then lowers quickly," Jamie explained on Instagram.
"We will be quarantining until at least the day after Christmas [100 percent]. It's definitely gonna be so sad to miss Christmas with family but we aren't willing to risk getting anyone else sick."
Jamie said she and her husband Doug Hehner are "focusing on gratitude" and are still "super thankful" for what they have and Hendrix's ongoing recovery.

"It could be so much worse," Jamie admitted. "We are lucky to be out of the hospital & all together. And Hendrix seems to be getting better each day. Aaand every mama knows the snuggles are long and sweeeet when our babies are sick."
Jamie added, "Definitely taking advantage of my rambunctious boy curling up on my lap and staying for longer than a second. #familytime #fambam #thankfulgratefulblessed #quaratinelife #sanitizing #likeaboss."
Henley was born in August 2017 and then the couple welcomed Hendrix in May 2020.
Earlier this year, Jamie revealed on social media she and Doug began trying for a third child, and she even filmed herself taking a pregnancy test on the toilet in her bathroom.
Jamie married Doug on Season 1 of Married at First Sight, which aired in 2014, and later welcomed two children, including their four-year-old daughter Henley Grace, after suffering through miscarriages.
Jamie has apparently had a tough month or so given she's just been fired, apparently, from her Married at First Sight: Unfiltered hosting gig.
A new spinoff, Married at First Sight: Afterparty, will take over and seemingly serve as a successor to Married at First Sight: Unfiltered, the show's existing talk-show spinoff.
Married at First Sight: Afterparty will be hosted by Emmy nominated actress host and Married at First Sight fan, Keshia Knight Pulliam, and feature a talk-show format when it premieres January 5 at 11PM ET/PT on Lifetime.
