The baby seemed lethargic, so the mom took the baby to the doctor, where the child later tested positive for covert 19.

Now, what should have been a joyful time in this family's life is a terrifying nightmare.

This newborn tested positive for covert 19 at just 12 days.

Old baby Eli was acting lethargic when his parents, Don and Shawn Clancy, took him to the doctor.

How is Eli acting?

When you knew something was wrong?

I went to just, like go rub his stomach a little bit and be like, Hey, Eli, And he just wasn't opening his eyes.

Eli wasn't the only one in the family to test positive Dad.

Shawn did to Mom.

Dawn tested negative.

How shocked were you?

First to find out that your husband tested positive and then you find out your newborn I can't even put into words how my emotions felt.

Um, it was pretty hard.

It was like my biggest fear leading up to you've been having a baby at this time.

When this virus is going around, you know, you try to do everything you can to keep your house safe.

It was emotionally.

Ah, draining now is baby Eli and his dad recovered from the virus.

This normally happy bonding time as a family has been turned upside down.

The new parents find themselves quarantined in separate rooms at their home in Cleveland.

Tell us about how you're making this work.

We are able to split some of the duties and things now, since ah, Eli doesn't have to be completely isolated from me.

Don, is Eli lucky?

Oh, absolutely.

And he's still such a happy baby.

The odds are in his favor.

We wish Baby Eli and his family the best, all right?
