Throwback Thursday from Journal

HomeSick

 

I am very proud of my son, Kevin, who is a computer guru and works at SAS Institute.   

This is an email correspondence we shared years ago which I copied off into paragraph form to keep.

 

From my son on November 17, 2004

My answer November 17, 2004

>”Did you sneeze more than once?  Is your fever above 100?  Did you cough too?  Does your tummy hurt?  Do you have a headache, body aches, new lumps or bumps?  Are you able to "read?"  Are you "reading" too much?  Is your nose running?  Your teeth chattering?  your throat scratchy?  Are your eyes red instead of blue?  Your tongue blue instead of pink? 

> 

If you have ALL of the above, go to the Emergency Room; by the time they see you,  you will be well.>

 

Otherwise, take two or more Tylenol and know you are loved and call me if neither works.”>
