I spoke to Jean yesterday. She has been suffering with a head cold for almost a week now. Edd has been watching over her faithfully. The doctors have told them to use over-the-counter drugs to help her weather through it. They were counciled that if fever appeared, she was to come in immediately to be checked out.
They are using Tylenol for her headaches and both Dayquil and Nyquil for the cold symptoms. She is coughing a lot. So after so many days, they went back to the doctor. He prescribed antibodies and a codine laced cough syrup. She said the coughing has lessened after only one day on the medicine. Hurray!
Other side effects were her tongue had white spots on it and she has stopped being able to enjoy spicy food. It is hard for her to eat most food. Additionally her nails had black spots on them. She had been told that might happen so she was not surprised when she experienced them.
I talked mostly to Edd. He gave me all the details of the last few days. Jean came onto the phone and I asked her if she had coughed her wig off. Somehow she didn't find that funny. AGH!
She is usually the first one to make light of her lot or tell a joke. Today was different. She didn't feel like hearing a joke from me.
Please get well, dear sister. I love you.
