Update on Maggie

Amber went to get a second opinion this morning, and the new doctor said that she was 99.9% sure Maggie does not have Rubella. The doctor went and checked with two other doctors in her practice (all of whom have something like 50 years of collective experience), and none of them have ever even seen or diagnosed a case of it. Maggie does have something viral, but you can rest assured being around her this past week is not going to drag you back into the Dark Ages or have you end up as some spotlight on CNN Headline News. There is no way to actually test for it unless you do blood work before she came down with symptoms and then after the symptoms go away, but the family health scare is pretty much over.

I can't wait until Maggie's next appointment when we find out she has Bubonic Plague or Polio. Amber, please keep us posted.
