Mary has the flu

Mary woke up last night with a high fever and threw up the children's Tylenol Meg gave her.

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.

Welcome - UPDATE

You've been invited to see the new Ferris Family web site. If you don't want to get e-mail updates when we publish to the site, just post a note in the comments or e-mail Chris at chrisandmegferris [at] earthlink [dot]net.

UPDATE: Whoops, the photo albums on the right aren't working right now. We'll get that fixed soon.

Welcome to the New Ferris Family Online

We're bailing out of the old web site and converting to a regular blog. This will allow us to update the site on the go -- from Chris' iPhone or Meg's Blackberry. For example, the two photos below of Mary and John were taking with Chris' iPhone and posted immediately.

We'll still post longer photos albums (see the links on the right) as well as videos to YouTube (those links are also on the right).

You can get regular updates on the blog by becoming a follower (on the lower right). I think you have to have a google account to follow in this way. You can also subscribe using an RSS feed from the far lower left.

Or, of course, you can just check the site regularly if that's what you prefer. Please make sure to leave comments so we can know how you like the new format.
