Happy Birthday Kristen on the 9th!
Happy Birthday Michelle on the 14th!
Happy Birthday Stephanie on the 23rd!
First:
All countries will get
the corona virus eventually...China just got it right off the bat... (Come on; at least a
snicker).
Well, its been an
eventful few days. We received word that
Savannah’s school has been postponed until after Labor Day. Wonderful!
Room to maneuver if needed.
Mostly though, we’ve
been trying to get Savannah back to being her healthy self. She started complaining of a stomach ache a
little over a week ago, then proceeded to develop a low grade fever. A big giant ‘oh, crap!’ on that one. She responded well to children’s Tylenol but
still was pale and feeling poorly. Within
a day or two she wasn’t able to keep anything down and developed cold sores in
her mouth and on her lips which kept her from wanting to eat anything at all. At one point, Dale said she did her best
Linda Blair imitation as she “exploded” (her words, not mine) all over me. This did not sit well with me. It wasn’t the projectile vomiting that bothered
me, it was the—how in the world could she pick up any germ considering how
we have had to live these days. Even though she only had the fever for a
couple of days, the fact that she doesn’t want to eat anything has made me
worry.
On Friday, I made the every
other week trip to the supermarket with Gerry and Nicky leaving Dale to attend
to his little patient. I bought
applesauce, popsicles, ginger cookies, chicken noodle soup, chicken and rice
soup anything I could think of to get her to eat a spoonful of whatever she
wanted. She would take a bite or two and
then say she wasn’t hungry any more.
Eventually, we were able to get her to eat a ginger cookie and sip some
water or water with flavoring. The next
day she managed to eat a few bites of soup for lunch and dinner. She’s looking and feeling better now. Over the weekend, she even wanted to go
swimming although we limited her to a half hour. She still hasn’t regained her appetite. Dale has given his medical opinion that it
was just a kid thing. We did start a weeklong
regimen of Vitamin C for ourselves, just to be on the safe side.
In other news, I’ve done
a thorough check of what it takes to return to Grenada from the US via
Canada. Unfortunately, there is no clear
cut information available. It’s a giant
question regarding whether it takes a CPR test to board the plane to leave Grenada
but Mary leaves today, so I’ll have an answer to that question by this
evening. I definitely need a certified one
to return, so I’ve scheduled that for Tuesday, the day after I land in Houston,
as it takes 2 days to get the results and I leave on Sunday for my return
flight; talk about a tight schedule! I
also need to download a tracking app onto my cell phone but I cannot find said
app anywhere. I figure AirCanada will
tell me which one is needed. I have made
my quarantine reservations at a hotel not too far from the marina for the 2 day—2
week (depending upon who you talk to) quarantine period required when I
return. Even though I have to have a PCR
test to board the plane to Grenada, I need another as soon as I land before I
will be allowed out of quarantine. I
even made a trip to the airport to ask these questions but each question was
answered with—just a minute—disappear into a back area—return with an
answer. So in other words, it depends on
the time, day, and who you ask, as to what the answer is going to be. Clear. As. Mud. However!
I am complying with the Grenadian Ministry of Heath’s protocol, so I
should be somewhere close.
Finally, Corona cases in
North Korea are represented in binary. Number
of cases is either 1 or 0. (A tiny
political joke.)
