This is Rose with a quick update. Sue fell ill during the night Saturday with severe flu-like symptoms. Sunday morning, following instructions of the on-call physician, Shirley and I took her to the emergency room at St. Luke's. The team there got her on in IV drip quickly, and that started making her feel better. Blood tests showed her sodium level was low, so that meant an overnight stay in the hospital. She may come home today or may have to stay until tomorrow. She called this morning to say she feels much better, stomach settled down, no nausea, and only a mild headache. Looks like an old-fashioned case of viral flu from which she is recovering quickly.

The timing is terrible as Sue was all set to go the lake on Sunday to be there through the Memorial Day weekend. That trip is now delayed at least until Wednesday. The best laid plans . . . .

More when we know more.
