Noro Nirus

    I had never heard of this illness before-it's really  bad so thought I would share.

This is what the CDC says  My husband has been so ill with severe uncontrolled  diarrhea   Late yesterday he was talking with a friend of his on the phone in Pennsylvania-told him about it and friend said that's going around and it's called noro virus.

  It comes in on food the mail etc. Studying what to do hand sanitizers based in alcohol are totally useless-so thinking what is the point of those?-but clorox wipes will kill it.  I did look online and there is a spray you can buy that kills it but I wouldn't get that for several days.

  Of course I have been doing tons of laundry for several days now. needs hot water and a hot dryer-I don't wash things in hot water but I did do all the towels etc used in hot water after learning about this.

  This virus will last one to three days. Larry's health is already compromised-one bad lung from his younger days of deep sea diving, 10% heart function and more health issues.  Today is the third day so I think this is the turning point-I finally got sleep (was up helping him most every hour the last several  nights, and he got a bit more as well.

 Once I knew what we were dealing with I grabbed the clorox wipes and wiped down everything we touch-phones, computer keyboards, door handles etc etc. I will do this again today.

 I don't feel great mostly do to lack of sleep, but so far have not gotten this. We don't have anyone coming in to the house-won't get physical therapy back for a couple months, and we have no visitors that see us so this came in with our  mail I am thinking or food.

 Hoping now we can both catch up on much needed sleep
