Tuesday 12/5/06 Belly Bug

Well, last night Nathan came down with the belly bug. As it turns out they have an "outbreak" and we've heard they have a confirmed case of Norwalk virus. So, it is making the rounds here. It has an incubation period of 24 to 48 hours and it lasts about that long as well. When I got in this morning, Nathan said he was actually doing pretty good and hadn't been sick since last night. That was so great to hear as it can be a pretty miserable thing to have to deal with. It's bad enough when you can get up and walk (or run) to the bathroom. Maybe he got lucky and got a lighter dose of it. He's still pretty worn out today but otherwise has been able to eat.

No PT or OT today and possibly tomorrow as they have to give him a full 48 hours to recover. So, that isn't a great thing as it will put him back a couple days but he'll get his strength back soon.

Don't know if you saw but one of the neighbors from the crash site wrote a comment that there was another accident in the same place last Friday night. This time there were signs up indicating the corner but they still missed it. It was a stolen car and the occupants ran off so they can only assume that they were okay. But this makes the 3rd accident in as many months. Definitely a dangerous area. I suggested to her that they see if reflectors could be put on the fence. Also, maybe they could put one of the yellow and black reflective arrows up on the fence. It's just so vast looking in the dark. Very deceiving.

So today is a quiet day but a good day.

Hope all of you are having a wonderful day. Love to all, The Mellon's
