Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yep it is around here. It is horrible. I know that the nurse at the e.r the other night told me that they had patients lined up in the halls in the e.r. because of lack of beds. It is a very bad bug whatever it is. It is scary because this crap turns to pneumonia really easy. I was over it almost and then today started running fever and getting it back because the poor little old sick folks are coughing on me all the time and running high temps. (not all of them are sick, but we have had about 10 of them out of 60 something residents with it so far. I believe it is going to get worse. I would almost call it an epidemic of something. hugs, Debra V. Nd wrote: Hey Debra it must be going around.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I know the stuff around here just seems to mutate. plus when the nsg home patients leave to go the ER they always come back with whatever bugs that they get exposed to there. And goodness knows we will get it with our immune systems. Diane --- debra van ness wrote: > Yep it is around here. It is horrible.
