Two Sick Kids Here

GOOD NEWS:  Yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving with our Nahelenani Ohana -- several of our neighbors gathered to share good food, good stories and good friends.  And, thankfully we are 99% recovered, just lagging a bit on the energy/stamina that will come soon enough. But, with so many people traveling, some without vaccinations, many without masks, the hospitals are preparing for a new surge.  Take care!  Be smart! Stay safe!

Well, hmmm!  11/15 update:  NO, unfortunately it is NOT over yet as symptoms come and go daily.  One day we feel "better" but a few hours later energy and stamina drop and drips and hacking pick up. According to our doctor and because of our age, we apparently fit the 'model' of recovery -- lungs have been sorely impacted and take a long time to recover. Rest, liquids and additional prescribed Rx and more REST. And so, we hunker down, make more good soup, select new books and enjoy the lovely peace of our home with an occasional saunter out to the beautiful gardens. So it is! 

BREAKING NEWS: It's been three long miserable weeks, but as of today 11/11 we are "Veterans of RSV" and symptoms are diminishing by the hour! Good thing too, because we are hosting our neighborhood Thanksgiving at our house!  WHEW !!

 

Late October:  In Case you are checking our blog, here's the reality at the Haysmer Hale Le'a.  Two weeks worth of nasty RSV virus has laid us both low and we're not over it yet.  We Do test for Covid as well but negative for that at least. Lots of people are sick with all the same symptoms. Many OTC drugs have had minimal effect, After checking with our doctor and the pharmacist, we have a couple of things that do relieve symptoms at least.  

 NOTE:  If you think you "just have a head cold" or even "just flu" you may have RSV -- GET MORE INFO from on-line or check with your health provider. This is a nasty virus that lingers and is exhausting.  Take care. WEAR YOUR MASKS!
