Grace

Everyone asked about Grace.
She went to the dr. yesterday and has the flu along with bronchitis. Dr. ordered bed rest and said she could return to school on Wednesday. She is off from work on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays so she won't have to go back to work until Friday night.

Apparently, this flu has hit everyone hard everywhere. My aunt's nursing home and Mrs. Todd's (one of the ladies at church) nursing home was quarantined. Also, Grace said her whole dorm room has it and she feels like she is in a hospital ward.

I told her to open the dorm room window a little bit during the day to get the bad germs out.


She sounded a little better yesterday. Her RA took her to the walk in clinic and took her to Walmart to get the RX filled and get extra sick day supplies - crackers, juice, diet sprite, cough drops, tissues etc. She put her phone and computer on their charges and turned them off.

Of course, I also had to send a care package - chicken soup, easy mac, flu medicine, claritin, honey grahams, crackers, pineapple tidbits (canned) snack bars and some rice krispy treats with chocolate and peanut butter. The easy mac and the rice krispy treats are comfort food for when she feels better.

well, computer is back up have to go back to work. ta-ta

oh nice update! It hurts when they are sick (even at age 20) and you can't be there to mother them. It seems you are doing a swell job mothering her from afar though! Love You Missy! Take care of yourself.

I left a comment for Grace. Trust she is feeling better. I heard from my Josh and he has it too. He had to go to the doctors and is on 2 antibiotics. So, I know how frustrating it is to not be with her. praying for both of you.
