Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
A possibility since he works in basements but I would think his coworker would have been affected as well.
Depends on if he has an allergy to it. It could be some sort of environmental exposure.
 
I just flushed some political promises after having Taco Bell for lunch. Does that count?
Omg ( that’s on my goat for you older reefers), Keith! 🤣
 
A possibility since he works in basements but I would think his coworker would have been affected as well.
but not if he's not allergic or sensitive. or could have inhaled something when his co-worker did not.
 
No cough or even congestion as far as I can tell.
its possible the headache is just from the fever. when my temp hits 104 I would just fall asleep until it came back down.
 
Then how did the so-called ER come up with URI? SMH
could be RSV, but I think thats late in the season but with all the rain still possible. even pneumonia. lung x-ray would be next if they didn't do one.

Ya, that’s what I thought, perhaps stumped and had to put down a diagnosis in order to bill. My wife was there the whole time and she is an intensive care nurse.

That's great that she doesn't charge much Kevin. It's the expensive nurses that get ya!!
 
Hello smorgtown. I know I've missed a lot in two days. But so far today, Ive solved the Anna k mystery and my buddy @Catawba_Valley_Reef made it here! You guys haven't run him off yet either! Fantastic! We're really glad to have you brother, your reef is amazing.

Thanks for the invite buddy.
 
@kevgib67 Sounds like your son is sick sir? I completely understand how hard this is. When you start someone's life by changing their diapers, and holding them through a bad night, that sense of protection never leaves. Prayers from my family to yours man.
