My Dear Friends,

Just a short post since it's late. Looking forward to Christmas. Lots of parties and things to do.

We had to postpone Thanksgiving by two days because I had to go to the emergency room that Wednesday. I caught that nasty norovirus. Most healthy people wait it out at home but I recognized that I should get help because I was dehydrated. They pumped me full of fluids (felt more alive after that) and gave me some anti-nausea and anti-diarrhea medicines. Didn't help but luckily I stopped throwing up at 11pm. I thought I was a goner and was just praying for it to stop. I got out of bed at 3am because I was so thirsty and stayed up til 5:30am hoping the apple juice and Gatorade stayed down. It did. I was very happy to be eating solid foods again on Thursday but my stomach was still a bit rough for about three days.

We had Thanksgiving on Saturday. I was sorry the family had to postpone it but was glad they did. It would've been sad to miss it.

Not much else is new. Caught a cold but now it's on the way out.

Call me a germ magnet.

Thanks for your prayers. ( I will write on other topics next time.)

Love,
Jeanette
