Mom Miller to the rescue!

So Mark decided to go and get himself sick! Ok, so maybe he didnt deccciiideee to....I still think that he likes me to coo over him though. Anyway when his high fever wouldnt break I called Cindy and she came to the rescue. She was very calm and very assuring and she walked me through everything. She is going to be such a great nurse and now I can say that from personal experience!! Way to go Mom!!
The update is this: Soon after we talked and after some big time prayers, and Tylenol, Mark started to feel much better and started [finally] to sweat...a very good sign. He said that he is now feeling the best he has felt in two days and is on the sure road to recovery! Thanks so much Cindy and I hope we didnt worry you too much!
We love you all and cant wait to see everyone in 9 days!!!!

GOOD LUCK CINDY ON THE NCLEX ON TUESDAY!!!!! YOU WILL DO GREAT!!!

p.s. How is everyone doing? Leanna, Nate, Emily, Heather and Ryan??

Just as I finished writing this Mark wandered up the stairs and guess what; HIS FEVER IS TOTALLY GONE!!! That is a serious miracle considering it was 103 just an hour ago!!! Thanks for the prayers Millers!

Libby--glad you're trying to teach Emily a few manners. Give us a medical update when you can (you know, when you get too tired to surf any more). Emily and I are going to the Twins game tonight--now that should be a great date!!
Still trying to figure out the logistics on our Tetons trip...we should have picked a less complicated trip...like driving through McDonalds...yes, I think we could handle that.

R & H: Tried to leave a comment on your blog--but it wanted nothing to do with that...so, will comment here. Wow, nice picture of the mountain goats--beautiful animals.

Ryan said...

Glad to hear that Mark is back to full health. It'll be a busy couple of days when you guys get home...we will be able to spend at least a night together, though. We're excited to see the pics. Enjoy the last couple of day!

Peter or Cindy said...

Nurse Miller! Congrats on coming to the rescue! You know your stuff! (Not too many new nurses that are getting calls from Africa for medical advice!) You're the best! pjm

EMILY said...

Haha...you're right, Lib; I do need manners! I was just glad to hear he was feeling better! I heard you talking to my mom on the phone earlier in the day and I was worried. She was so calm and all I'm thinking is "They're in Africa...can they even go to a doctor there?" Maybe that shows my low intelligence level, but the point of the story is that I was very concerned.

Peter or Cindy said...

Mark,

Glad to see you resurface--you had us all concerned for awhile. Now, stay away from those exotic food experiments. Hit the surf. We have 90 degree weather here! But no ocean.
