Damn.
On a side note, pretty cool to see you use ‘wrt’, I thought only math geeks use that.

He'll likely be fine but keep us posted.

Should we treat the symptoms? He has an elevated temperature but below 100 (99.5) but his congestion is worse. I’m hesitant to give him DayQuil because it would bring down the temp and the temperature is helping his immune system... If it was a cold, I wouldn’t hesitate since the immune system will catch up in a day or two, but with this crap I want to give it every chance to do it’s thing... Thoughts?

D2's doc said don't treat the fever. It's one of the few defenses we have against the virus. Of course, there's an upper limit where the fever itself is harmful. But that's pretty high.
I agree with that.

Any good nasal decongestant without a fever reducer?

I bet the zinc has been part of the problem...There are a lot of stories about people losing their smell or taste from Zicam...

Dalton is Trav's oldest son - he's 19. Cade is son #2 - he's 17. There's a third kid - Blake, who's about 12, iirc.

Sounds to me like the "not live in fear" Christians. There's a good many of them.
They're ignant.

There's a deep, dark chasm between 'don't live in fear, God will provide' and 'don't live in fear, but take reasonable precautions'.
What was that old saw about God helping those who help themselves?

She has a strangely familiar sense of humor.
Humor is good.

Has Trav gotten his results yet?
I’ve been on hold for 45 minutes trying to Luke scheduled for a test and a video consultation.

Yup. Got them last night - he's positive.
The interesting question is where did he get it? D2 has been negative since the end of October.
How's Luke doing?
