My son was in Iowa for a 4 day week end - drove one of the combines but mostly the tractor pulling the grain wagons. Long days - 18 hours. He does this wry year during harvest. Sunday night they went out for dinner. That night they all had serious intestinal issues (32 feet of grunt) including fevor. I thought it was food poisoning. Fevor could suggest a stomach flu. He stopped puking yesterday and his fevor broke so I flu him home. He's in bed now and hasn't shown any signs of illness except being real tired.
Now you parents, question. Would you have flown him home at the earliest opportunity or wait till he got better?
He does not have Ebola and most likely isn't contagious...maybe.
In this case I told my wife to keep him in Iowa - that it wasn't fair to the 120 others on board in case he could pass the bug but for those of you with a ginger wife (or for that matter any wife) the momma instinct supercededs all else. She wanted her baby home. Period.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
