Quick Update

For those of you who asked – just a quick update on the sickies.  Brother-in-law Brian has been released from the hospital in Bishop and is weak but doing fine.  My sister, Laila, is still a patient but may be released this evening or in the morning.  Her potassium went way low and so they are doing some sort of IV therapy and have her hooked up to a heart monitor.

On the bright side, both patients are raving about how caring and concerned the staff is at the hospital in Bishop.  They brought in a couch for Brian to sleep on in Laila’s room after he was released.  They went out to their car and brought in clothes and items they needed.  Laila said they treat them like guests of a hotel rather than patients.  I guess that’s better than being stuck somewhere uncaring.

Saturday, my brother got sick but he was only sick two days.  Monday his wife got sick and she is feeling better today.  Guess Brian and Laila got the worst of it.  I told them I was feeling a bit of survivor's guilt for having escaped that terrible bug.  Here I planned the trip, then bailed on the last part of it, and everyone who went to Bishop got sick!  But I am glad that Russ and I managed to hold onto our supper!!  Makes me think twice about “One Last Trip” to Bishop!

Thanks to everyone for your concern.  I think they are all going to live but it is certainly a trip none of us will ever forget!
