Kung Flu Update
13 June.
First- my family is grateful for everyone's thoughts and prayers.They've been a great comfort.
May the good Lord remember your kindness.

I'm better and slowly recovering my strength.
Kay and Annabelle are still running fevers.
Amber is just beginning to cough.
Docs say to assume everyone
in the house is now positive.

I would probably no longer be contagious, except for the fact that I'm in the house with
  three contagious people. I'm praying to God
  I won't have a relapse. One "mild" round of this
  is bad enough and they say the immunity is only good for 6 months. Oh joy.
"Mild" Hantavirus illness was worse, but it was
  confined to respiratory distress and I didn't
  have to worry about giving it to the family.
This monster attacks your whole body and can "turn on a dime," going from what feels like a cold to life-threatening over night.

Multiple the "normal" flu. Then add terrible headaches, chills and tremors, lower backache so you can't sleep, and your sense of taste and smell disappears completely.
Low to moderate fever. My fever has been gone for
  a few days. Smell and Taste came back the day I left the hospital, but are now gone again.
Probably from continual assault by the
live virus still being shed
from Kay and the babies.

The doctors are surprised that neither Kay nor I are in the hospital on a ventilator. I credit the prayers of loved ones and friends, plus our
  therapeutic regime of
quinine (tonic water)/vita. C/ Zinc.
Half a cup of the diet tonic water,
morning and evening without fail.
I recommend the diet because there's more sugar
  in regular tonic water than in Cola, and you
  really don't need that much sugar everyday.
I know that certain medical authorities have
  pooh-poohed the quinine, but as you've seen
  the situation is evolving all the time and people are finding out what they believed
  one minute turns out to be false and vice versa.
  All I know is the results. I'm recovering, Kay is still active but recovering, and the doctors are scratching their heads- they tell us very few families with our health problems get away without being ventilated. That's good enough for me.

Please say an extra prayer for Annabelle, who is having the worst time, and Amber,
  who is just starting and we hope will
miss the worst of it.

Thank you again for your ongoing kindness.

GL ES 73 OM DE Dave AB5S
