5 call outs in a month

Workplace Question or Advice Needed

i’m already assuming i’m cooked and probs gonna get fired but idk. in early november i called out 3 times in a row due to a major personal emergency i was having, when i went in for my next shift i talked with the HR ETL and the conversation went great and was super accommodating and i had no issues. i worked every shift since then and was on time and had absolutely zero issues. now i called out yesterday and today because i got covid and im having symptoms and all that gross stuff. i texted the HR ETL a picture of my positive covid test and let them know that i was having symptoms and wouldn’t make it in and they have not texted me back or anything (which isnt common, they’ve responded to all of my previous texts) so now im freaking out. im not a seasonal hire but i am still within my first 90 days and im worried that when i go in for my next shift that they’re going to fire me and ill be fucked. target is my second job but i need this job to pay my rent and bills and i have no idea what im going to do if i lose this so any advice? idk if im just driving myself insane or if i should genuinely start worrying about it
