Thanks to everyone for your kind words of encouragement as I faced a minor bump in the road with the norovirus. I discovered one good thing about the virus: It is short-lived, often lasting only 3-4 days. In my case, it was 3 days. I know of several other people for whom it lasted only 2 days.
More importantly, Kate has shown no signs of catching it. I still have my fingers crossed, but it looks like she may have escaped.
As I said in my previous post, we all encounter surprises that require our immediate attention away from other things that are more important to us. In my case, Kate has always been my primary concern, and I am grateful that, as of today, she remains happy and safe.
