Good Morning Train Riders,
This morning it was 21º (feels like 10º) and cloudy and going up to 28º and with a wintry mix becoming lighter in the afternoon with winds E 10-15 mph. We have a winter weather advisory from 9:00 AM Friday until 6:00 PM Saturday. The huge snowball in the front yard is still the same and there are a few patches of snow left in the back yard.
Rachael had a doctor’s appointment yesterday morning and her temperature was 102º. The first thing he said was that it looked like either pneumonia or flu. He tested her for flu first and it came out positive so she is on Tamiflu. He also called in Tamiflu prescriptions for the rest of the family to be held at the pharmacy in case they are needed. I hope Rachael will be feeling better quickly and that no one else gets it. Rachael was worried because she has final exams starting on Monday. The doctor told her she should be feeling a lot better by then.
MJ took Hannah and Sarah to school this morning. Tonight is Sarah’s Christmas program that they are doing with some of the other churches in Lincoln. I’d like to go to Sarah’s program but will stay home with Rachael. Hannah was going to have a couple of girls over to spend the night but that had to be postponed.
Another Japan memory: I remember coming down with flu about 50 years ago and I was miserable. Ken who was about 3 or 4 then would stand by my bed just looking at me. I kept getting worse and coughed constantly and Bill finally called the doctor. He wanted to see me and it turned out that I had pneumonia and was admitted to the Seventh Day Adventist Hospital in Tokyo for several days. The nurses brought a bit of color to the hospital by wearing different colored sweaters with their white uniforms. I remember how gently the nurses treated me and would give me a bed bath. My whole rib cage was sore for weeks afterward and I’m glad there are better treatments for flu and pneumonia now. I also remember that when I was in the hospital the nurse would come in and have me hang my head down over the bed and cough to try and get my lungs cleared. More tomorrow.
