hello flu

On Friday we had one of our guys wake up (David C.) and let us know that he needed to stay home from school, because he didn’t feel well. Then on Friday afternoon the school called and Reece needed to come home because he felt sick. Currently we have eight people in the house who are sick . . . . and two of them are staff! Josh, David B., Reece, Isaac, Mark, Joseph, Danielle and Brandon are all currently quarantined to their rooms and we check on them about once an hour for a temperature and to see how they are doing. Most of them run a temp, feel nauseous and are sleepy/achy. Some are starting to feel better but it tends to come and go. At 4:30 am last night Danielle woke up with the chills and she has been out all day today. Our weapons to fight this outbreak are ibuprofen, Nyquil, Dayquil, Pepto Bismal, Water, Pedialyte, and Greg’s world famous chicken Noodle soup (okay it’s just hot water and a packet, but they all seem to appreciate it)! My favorite part has been how the other guys have taken to mocking the sick guys. They made chalk outlines of guys as though they were dead! This was after they enjoyed a great Saturday night meal of Racclette!
