Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I had chicken curry ramen tonight. My daughter made it last night. It was good last night, even better tonight.
Leftovers usually are, it gives the seasonings time to really soak in
 
@Rocks reef and @Imrahilwjz can I pick your brains? It started today, whenever my son goes from laying down to sitting or standing he gets hiccups. When he lays down they stop. Hiccups can be a neurologic thing, what do you think? Have you ever seen it before?
The phrenic nerve innervates at C3-C5. It may be impinged and causing irritation. Obviously, when he is standing/sitting it puts more pressure than when he is laying down.
Are you able to adjust him Kevin to see if that alleviates it?
 
That's the way my wife's spaghetti sauce is. Great the 1st night, amazing!! 2 or 3 days later.
Absolutely my friend... all those seasonings soak in
 
Ya, thank you. It seems to go hand in hand with the whole neuro thing. Sit or stand, head pain, nausea, photo phobia, sweating and now hiccups that are all relieved when he lays flat.

You said his blood cultures grew out Staph aureus?
 
@kevgib67 how did your boy wake up today?
My wife talked to him and he said better but she thinks he just wants to get out of there. She took off work and should be on her way. She’s going to call me after she gets there.
 
Sorry. Thought I'd mentioned it before. About 4 years ago I found out I have a slow progressing form of lymphoma. They don't treat until your blood count numbers are skewed badly enough, and they don't expect to eliminate it, but you can live quite long by managing it. So far I haven't required treatment, but my numbers are borderline, so the doctor wants to take a full body MRI to check my lymph nodes before deciding whether to start treatment. He gave me information about a clinical study as well.
So sorry Wes, I have you covered in prayers.
 
It’s 9am and 88 degrees 😥
Feeling your pain brother. It's 86 here and 9:14am. We are supposed to get rain for the next couple days with temps remaining between 86-90 through Sunday. "Cold front" tomorrow with a high of 80.
