What started as a tickle in his throat Wednesday night turned into fever and chills Thursday and has continued today with nausea added to the party. When his temperature hit 40.1 tonight (104 Fahrenheit) we called 811 to talk to a nurse. We’re supposed to keep an eye on him, watching for shivering, abdominal pain and other things but for the moment it’s Advil and a humidifier in his room.
The nurse said it sounds like COVID, even if the rapid tests are coming back negative. We’re supposed to test him again tomorrow morning.

Ian remains COVID-negative today (Sunday). Yesterday he seemed quite a bit better and his fever came down. I’d say he’s out of the woods but there’s more recovery to happen yet.
Hello to you Ian, hope you soon will feel better. Grandpa Dave.
