I'm playing around with other ways to show photos. This little album was created with Picassa. Let me know how you like (or don't like) it.

Meg and Mary Ferris' Day Off
The two of them have been reading together and running errands while some work is done around the house (mostly painting some of the interior rooms).
Also, happy birthday to Baba, who turns 69 today. And a belated birthday to Big Rig who marked his 79th birthday on Sunday.

Mary still at home
This morning, however, Mary was verrry sluggish. She didn’t fully wake up until after 9 am. So Meg is still at home with Mary and they’re going to take it a little easier today.
Thanks again for all the thoughtful calls, e-mails and text messages.

Mary doing OK
John does not seem to have any flu symptoms, although his bark-like cough is persisting. He was complaining about not feeling well this morning, but he doesn't have any fever either. To be safe, Meg will likely take him to the doctor today (she's staying home as per instructions from Mark Kline).

Update on Mary
Meg was in constant contact with Mary's doctor and Mark Kline. We were worried because her fever was not going down and eventually spiked at 103.4.
The only good sign was that she was sleeping a lot. We checked on her about 1 am and managed to get some more Tylenol in her - which she managed to keep down.
So we were surprised this morning to be awakened by Mary's voice in our bedroom. It wasn't just that her voice didn't sound sick; we were amazed that she was able to walk into our room under her own power. Chris had been carrying her around the house most of yesterday.
Mary just ate a good breakfast and seems like her old self. Of course, she started yesterday like this as well.
The rest of us so far aren't exhibiting any flu symptoms, although John has a cough and runny nose. Meg has been told to stay home from work since she comes into contact with so many doctors and other health care providers. We will also keep John home from school so he doesn't spread the flu there.
It's a strange feeling wondering and waiting to see when/if the rest of us will get it. We do have a supply of Tamiflu on hand for the next victim.
Thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts and words.

Mary has the flu
We were not surprised since Mary's camp is closed next week due to cases of H1N1 flu. We took her to the doctor this morning and he confirmed the flu in our girl.
She seemed ok most of the morning but as we were driving back from the pharmacy she cratered. Mary is in bed now having taken her Tamiflu and some Tylenol (both of which she has kept down).
The other Ferris family members are also at risk for the flu so we'll be monitoring our health as well. We're hopeful that catching it early will make this a little easier on all of us.
