Taking Precautions...

As people come and go, we need you to remember that germs are bad... We have hand sanitizer right inside the front door, but that doesn't necessarily fix everything. Now that school is in session, the weather is turning, and flu season will be starting, we need you to be extra careful of what comes into the house.

Many of us don't even think about it, myself included, because our own immune systems are healthy and can fight off most things. Her body is more like a newborn's in that it can't fight things off. My sister, Jane, is in the hospital right now in Florida. She has been having chemo treatments and her fever spiked. It is a very scary thing.

During this first week after the chemo treatments especially, I ask that you let Morgan rest as much as possible. She usually will sleep in to mid-morning, take an afternoon nap, and needs to go to bed much earlier than she usually does.

This doesn't mean she needs to be isolated, but just think of your timing. Between nine or ten at night, especially this week, she needs to be told good night and then left alone to sleep. She has been going to bed with her cell phone in her hand just in case someone calls or texts her. PLEASE don't text her early in the morning or after 10:00 at night. She needs her rest more than anything right now.
