So Connor finished his Tamiflu medications and while his fever is gone he still feels yucky and the cough he had now for weeks and weeks is still here.
So now we are back to waiting until the 24th this time for the App with the Pulmonologist.....
Alexander, who was put on the preventive Tamiflu, as well as Ron who is on Tamiflu for prevention, are both doing well and not showing any symptoms :)
Yesterday that meant that Alexander was able to go Snowboarding with me to Breckenridge, while C Bear stayed home with Ron :)
We got some very sad news last night which prompted us to head down to C-Springs today to drop off a little Care Package for the Thomas Family. Now we never met this family but as you might realize if you work for American Airlines you are part of a huge Family. While there might be discontent between Management and the Labor Groups, the Employees over all try to stick together and look after each other.
Rick Thomas is/was a fellow AA Pilot, an FO on the Super 80, who commuted to DFW from C-Springs. Heartbreakingly we found out through the AA Pilot Chatroom that he was diagnosed a while back with a very rare form of Kidney Cancer and that has no cure. Yesterday he was moved from the Hospital section at Penrose to the Hospice Floor. Having had two Family members in Hospice we know very well what that means ...
Now the reason I feel it is a real Heartbreak is due to the fact the Rick is still very young, early 40's with a beautiful wife and three gorgeous and young children.
If anyone is interested in helping them or following there story you can do so on Caringbridge:

As to us we are hoping to stay home for the next few days as each outing we do now undertake seems to strip Connor of any energy he has....
Hugs,
R A C A
