Sick

[Game Master]

Yeah. I'm sick. Crappy head cold that is making me sleep while I am usually on line, so forgive the slow responses.

[homeskillet]

Ah man, get well. Put Vicks Mentho Rub on the souls of your feet, put socks over them and take a nap. It will clear you up.

[sfliegel]

get well soon man.

[Game Master]

ok guys....here is what's up. I am starting my Pharmacy schooling in order to qualify to become a store manager. I MUST pass this test in November. It is as hard as it sounds. Medical terms, algebra formulas, metric conversions, drug names and definitions, policies, the works. I am a little stressed because I suck at math and Chem. and it took me 2 years to pass Biology. I have a baby on the way, my wife is not working and I need this extra income to support my family.

What does this mean?

#1 Pray for me.
#2 I will prob. slow down here on line. The first and hopefully only things I will put on hold (not forever) will be Aiko's and Firebug's games OR Legends.

Any preference? Or would you prefer a much slower pace on all 3 games?

[sfliegel]

Feel free to put Firebug on hold. Take as much time as you need. This is promotion is very important. Focus on that first.

Good luck

[homeskillet]

I think you should do whatever works for you. A slow down of the gams is fine, shit, stop if need be. You need to pass this test.

[Game Master]

ok,
Homeskillet, DEFF. concider your CBT game on hold till further notice. I need to cut corners. As well as Aiko.

FireBug is on hold.

I'm going to focus on Legends and I'll still continue to do Chiers and ManicPixies games because they don't require a lot of effort on my part anyway right now.

[chiereneua]

nothing to forgive man just hope you get well and everyone is ok.

Ok man if you need to put things on hold go ahead and put mine on hold and just concentrate on life as we all know real life comes first and formost. I do not mind really I need more time then most it seems to think of replies myself so if you need to put it on hold till you PASS this test then by all means make it so.

Thanks Chier but I don't think I need to put your game on hold. It's only posted to every 4-6 weeks. I can handle that. Same with Manic Pixie's game.

I do need everyone to say a prayer if they would for my little grand-nephew Cameron.

We just found out that this little 20 month old has an Ecoli infection in his lower intestine. It is a rare strain of this bacteria that can be fatal to young children. He is yellow, full of sores, lost 7 lbs and his kidneys are shutting down. He is on dialysis and will probably have a blood transfusion in the next day or two. their is no cure, antibiotics make it worse and the Doctors are just fighting the symptoms/effects while the bacteria 'runs its course'. This 'Course' can take up to 4 weeks of constant monitoring in the hospital and has a high death rate. It does not look good.

ok, I told everyone I would give an update as soon as I could.

Cameron (just turned 2) has made a full recovery and was released from the hospital. 'LoMalinda'.

His 9 month old sister has recovered as well because she had minimal exposure.

My youngest, sisters, son, Sebastian (age 4) suffered for only four days but, is doing great as well.

Only my niece, Aliyah (age 6) is still in the hospital under observation. She is not critical but, has extreme abdominal pain from the E-coli. It basically eats your intestines (this strain at least) and has been described as worse then giving birth as far as the pain goes. Because most of us are men please ask your wives if they would wish labor pains on a young child.

ALL four children were given morphine and Tylenol to lessen the pain to a 'tolerable' level. Cameron (now at home) wakes in the middle of the night screaming from nightmares.

Some of you may have found this out on your own but the cause of the E-coli was from meat sold at Stater Brothers food stores. Over 750,000 lbs. of meat has been recalled but, has effected an undetermined # of children and seniors from Fresno California down to the Mexico Border. If you have ANY meat from Stater Brothers THROW IT AWAY. They do not know how much was contaminated or from what dates may be affected so don't take any chances PLEASE.

Thank you for those whom prayed for children in my family. God saw fit to see them all through this. Any of them could easily have died.

Last tidbit. 3 of the 4 children were TURNED AWAY from the local hospital not once but, TWICE for indigestion before my wife convinced the mothers to take the children to LoMalinda (specializes in pediatrics). Lesson? NEVER settle for a Doctors dismissing opinion if you truly feel your child is sick. Cameron would have died from kidney failure if they had waited one more day to admit him.

Early signs are DARK diarrhea followed by vomiting, blood in the stool and finally (they better be in a hospital by this point) abdominal pains.

[manicpixie]

I heard about Cameron but nobody said a word to me about the other children, my goodness this is just horrible.. I am definitely praying for all of them, Aaliyah is going to be ok, right?

I was very relieved when your oldest sister accidently called me and therefore gave us the news that Cameron was ok. Give Vicki my love and prayers, ok?

[Game Master]

I am shocked you did not know and I am sorry for not telling you. Clay knew all about the other kids so I figured....anyway sorry you were out of the loop.
