Important Note From Mike - Please Read if you are Visiting

Hi All.

The following has just been updated.


I just wanted to put a short and very important note out there.


If you are considering visiting in the next 5 days..please read below:


Jean's white blood cell count is approaching zero and her immune system is extremely compromised.  To make it clear, she will have very little, if any, immunity to any of the normal everyday sicknesses and germs that we fight off and have built an immunity upon over a lifetime. 


If you have been sick recently, have been exposed to large groups of people that may have been sick, or even don't feel well, sorry to be blunt, but PLEASE DO NOT VISIT.  The rules are posted on the door to the ward.

In addition, I spoke to the nurses/doctors and they made the following additional precautions:
1.  No children
2.  No more than 2 people in the "Fishbowl" at a time
3.  No hugging or kissing

 This is a not just a matter of convenience, but could be a matter of life or death for Jeanie and the other 9 patients on the ward.


Finally, as a rule of thumb, please text or jeanie if you are coming in.  She will have the phone off if she is sleeping or not feeling well.


Thanks.
Mike
