H1N1

Dear all,
Well now, Kimberly recovered nicely from her virus; only to go back to her internship and work with a sick intern, and now has come down with H1N1! We were to urgent care on Sunday; and so I couldn't work on Monday, until I had been cleared by HR and Employee Health. Kimberly is in bed; as she is soooo tired! I made Mom's hot cider for her yesterday, and some homemade chicken soup which should have her well in no time. The doctor at urgent care acted as if it was much ado about nothing. I seem to have immunity, and Brandon and Christine are still "well". Brandon has been followed by his dr. who says that the periods of confusion he is having daily might be a brain tumor. I asked about his low B12, since the lab said it might cause neuropsychiatric episodes. He seemed surprised and read the note. We will be getting a new dr. for Brandon after he sees the neurologist on the 29th. He seems better since starting to take a mega B complex now for 5 days. We are also going to go the CHLA Life Clinic and ask for a dr that knows about cancer survivor health. Please keep us in your prayers. I don't feel too worried and my mother's intuition isn't alarming at this point. Christine and Brandon have been through so much in the last 3 years, and they are stronger than ever. It is a blessing to witness. Love all, Kim
