Alright, here we go. It’s been a little over a month since I wrote about how Emily, the kids, and I are doing while in the grip of the Corona virus. In general we are doing very well, and for that I am thankful, (perhaps not as thankful as I should be considering all the people that are truly suffering from COVID-19). But, to say that ours lives have not been completely changed in the past two months would be very wrong. I’m not sure if (the proverbial) you would classify this post as complaining or whining, but I’m going to think of it as an update on how we’re feeling and how we’re coping with our new found life.
Luckily Emily and I both still working. The vet clinic where we work is still open and fully functioning, we are not turning any clients away and seeing all kinds of appointments (not just emergencies). I know most people have been quarantined to their house, their place of business has been shuttered, and they are staying home to self isolate and help flatten the curve. Emily and I have “essential” jobs and I am thankful. Our lives have maintained a certain amount of consistency because of this. We get up, we drop off our kids at daycare (still open for essential employees), we go to work, we pick up the kids, and we go home. But there is so much more stress and anxiety with everyday life now. I’m awake and writing this at 3:30 on Sunday morning. Neither of us sleep very well anymore, the corona virus is ever present in our thoughts, and the kids’ lives have been very much changed.
At work: at work COVID-19 is always present, always lurking around the next corner. We clean insistently. Every thirty minutes each phone, computer, calculator, door handle, and any other surface that is generally touched gets wiped down. Clients are no longer permitted in the building and that has been the case for a while now. We’ve tried to pair doctors and assistance to cut down on people’s exposure to one another. Everyone at the clinic wears a face mask to catch any sneeze or cough. But, even with all these precautions, COVID-19 lingers. There have been three coworker leave work due to illness. None of them have been tested, let alone tested positive for corona virus. But still, we have had three different cases of illness at the clinic. As an assistant, it’s my job to go out to the client’s car to get the patient and the patient’s history. Every time I go out to talk to a client, I can’t help but wonder if this client is sick, or have they been exposed before coming here. Is this next client taking social distancing seriously, are they wearing a mask to protect me from their coughs and sneezes? I have personally had clients try to hug me since this began. I’ve had several clients try to shake my hand, I’ve been coughed on, sneezed on, I’ve had a client put a pen in their mouth before attempting to hand it back to me (I politely declined the pen). COVID-19 and the fear lingers everywhere at work. Mostly I fear taking it home. I don’t fear getting sick myself, this is probably overconfidence, but I do fear being the one to get my kids sick.
At home: at home the fear is more distant. When I’m at home the fear feels like it’s “out there.” It isn’t here, it isn’t present, but it is still lurking. Trying to find a way in to our little bubble of safety. Emily goes to the grocery store once a week or every other week to buy food, and that is our extent with contact to the wider world except through work and daycare. When we are not working we are home. In general it’s been nice. We’ve started new quasi education projects. We’ve learned that vinegar will eat the egg shell off an egg, now we have a very squishy egg sitting in a glass jar (we also learned that the egg will absorb some of the vinegar and expand – now the egg can’t fit through the top of the jar.) We have also started a container ecosystem. The kids and I went down to the creek on our property and collected rocks, mud, plants, and creek water in a big container. So far we have seen some worm looking things crawling in the mud, some bug creatures swimming around the surface, and two tadpoles swimming around. We’ve also started a garden, started taking walks around the neighborhood, and many other little projects. Without school, Emily and I are trying to educate the kids at home. This is very tough due to the lack of change in our schedules, we still work five days a week. Instead of reading to the children at night, they now read to us, the school has provided packets of work for them to do, and we’re rehearsing sight words. I hope it’s enough, India is in first grade and Oscar is in kindergarten so school isn’t too challenging. We are, however, getting restless. Understandably, the kids want to go to the park, they want to go to church to see their friends. I find myself staring at the mountains longing to go hiking again, the walks around the neighborhood are nice but they aren’t quite the same. We all long to be out in the world again, to eat dinner at a restaurant or to play at park, but we are making due at the house.
At least the media and social media seems to have more fully understood the dire situation we are in. I no longer hear a lot of people down playing COVID-19, although you still have your outliers like the quarantine protesters in Lansing, MI (even though Michigan has one of the highest disease rates in the nation) and “Dr.” Phil who compared COVID-19 to car accidents. In general we as a society now understand the risk that we are currently living with. Most clients are taking social distancing seriously, most clients are wearing masks when I go out to talk to them, and I’ve even had some clients cancel non emergency appointments because they didn’t want to risk their health for an appointment that could easily be rescheduled. Emily and I are trying to do our part, I think most of the people out there are doing their parts. I can’t imagine that this will go on indefinitely. This is not the new normal, but hopefully just a blip (a very scary and difficult blip) in our lives.
On a lighter note, there have been some good things to come out of being quarantined with the family. Work is more stressful but also more fun without the clients in the building. At work we can talk about things we would never talk about with clients in the building. Conversations tend to be more frank and honest and language is a tad more colorful (helps with stress relief). Patients’ histories are more direct. As a family we’ve learned that McDonald’s is still open even though Emily and I tried our hardest to convince the kids that it was closed. I look weird with a shaved face (I’ve grown back the goatee), and Emily likes to dye her hair pink. Trying to teach a 2 year old anything school wise is almost impossible(we tried to teach Calvin to write his name). We’ve also learned how to better be content with what we have and enjoy those around us. Enjoyment and fun is not found out of ourselves but comes from within.
Tell us what you think, how is COVID-19 effecting you and your lives? And, as always, thanks for reading.
Hang in there..it will be over soon!
Love Emily’s pink hair! Would love to see you clean shaven… Love and prayers for you all . ❤🙏
As a retired nurse I am more than aware of how deadly this virus is. I live in a tiny town that has no recorded cases but I don’t trust that it isn’t around. I have been isolating for weeks. Now that Summer is coming people from out of state will come. I just hope they will cooperate and self isolate. My fear is they will just carry on like usual. We don’t have the medical facility to handle the influx.
I too am afraid that when summer truly comes, a lot of people will throw caution (and good sense) to the wind and start to travel again- tony
Thank you so much for sharing your lives as well as your thoughts about life and things in general. You are both a great inspiration to all of us.
Wishing you both and your children the best of health!
Stay safe and healthy! Trying not to get so angry at those rejecting scientific guidance!!!
I am wanna the lunch ladies,so still working knowing some kids dont get feed at home trying m ake a difference. I am thankful I can work because I would go crazy at home by my self. I miss my kids and grandkids and praying this is over soon. Thankyou for sharing your life with us.God Bless you be safe.
Well said Tony. You and Emily are an inspiration to others who do take this seriously. We too miss our hikes in the outdoors and have settled on waking the neighborhood. You all take care and stay safe. Love reading your posts. Calvin is too much!! Such a cutie.
Give Calvin a break. A 2 year old doesn’t need to know how to write his name. Maye he could learn to recognize it first in a group of other words. And it’s hard to teach a little one how to correctly hold his crayon or pencil. He’s got plenty of time . Stay safe.
Oh we totally have. We just thought we would try it, but yeah he isn’t close to ready. We have, however, been working on the ABC’s and Calvin is picking it up quickly =)
I love reading your posts, especially after a stressful day (just the two of us, but my hubby has cancer). We’re doing our best!!❤️
What challenges young families like yours, and my children’s families, face. I admire each of you so much because of how you handle the difficult balancing act with responsibilities. And even though your children are missing friends, school , church, the park, etc. they feel safe, secure and certain of their places in life. I believe, when they look back on this, they will remember those losses but also all of the things you did together as a family. And of course, the trips to that shining mecca, McDonalds. Congratulations on all that you are accomplishing with them!
Isn’t it something how the conversations we are having with others are more open and honest? Isn’t it a gift to be more aware of what the real treasures are in our lives?
My grandchildren and I Facetime and Zoom much more frequently than before this strange time. My friends and I also help with school lessons over Zoom and Alexa. Way cool if you ask me.
I, too, have an “essential” job as I work in a garden center selling fruits, vegetables as well as flowering plants. My husband has been furloughed and his job may no longer exist in the future. We, too, worry about bringing home corona crud to each other. We worry about leaders who would incite huge “protests”. But we also have found new appreciation for and joy in being together.
Thank you for providing such honest, funny and touching blogs/vlogs. You are such fine people!
I’m in southeast Michigan, a suburb south of Detroit and I can tell you that Covid19 is real. I’ve lost a very dear friend to this vicious virus and nothing anyone can do will bring her back. Her husband has been hospitalized for the last 2 weeks. He’s doing better, he didn’t need to go on a ventilator, but his recovery is slow. I get it that people are tired of being on “lock down” in their own homes. Its a pain to go grocery shopping when the shelves are bare and then all packaging has to be disinfected when you get home. But if we’re not careful and gently remind those who have a more flippant attitude towards this, the virus will just keep spreading. Its a virus & people need to understand its not just a cold. I think about how just the simple things like washing hands and covering coughs & sneezes can slow this beast down. When did people get so sloppy & indifferent during cold and flu season that they stopped washing hands and not covering coughs or sneezes? Don’t be afraid to ask for your personal space (now its called social distancing) from others. If they are going to exercise their right to not wear a mask, then you have a right to request they distance themselves from you. All we can do is try our best to protect our loved ones and wait this out together.
I couldn’t imagine trying to deal with this with small children at home. But as a parent of 4 adult children and 11 grandchildren I still find myself worrying about them and praying they are age.
We live off grid on our property 1/2 hour from a small village in Alaska. It’s usually quite quiet in the winter months, but the village teams with tourists in the summer….but won’t be this year.
Seeing the few businesses we do have, including the library, close down has been an eye opener. The local bakery/cafe that I sell eggs to is open 1 day a week to pick up pre-paid drive up orders, with strict guidelines for pick-up. Somehow ordering fresh baked goods and a pizza is good for the moral,
We miss getting together with neighbors. We still check in on our elderly neighbor, but miss taking him to the store, post office, etc, due to the social distancing.
We really miss family. Our kids/grandkids who live 2 hours away and used to come up to visit/spend the night from time to time, now only are able to visit with face time. Our son and granddaughter in California had tickets to fly up the first week of June and were going to be here for my 65th birthday. That will have to be put off.
The cruise ships that bring tourists to our state have cancelled all cruises, and the Princess Lodges are also closed for the summer now. The US and Canadian borders are closed to recreational travel, which cuts the tourism even more. That will hit our states economy hard.
I have started making face masks to donate to our community through the Facebook Group ‘Alaskan Mask Makers’ to stay focused on the positive aspects of community helping community.
It’s going to be interesting seeing how our country recovers.
Blessings to you and your family
Cindy
Thank you for making masks,one thing that COVID-19 has done is to bring out the best in a lot of us- tony
Very good read. It sounds to me like you are doing a great job keeping your family as safe as possible and still go on with your life. We are all well here so far and very few cases in the county we live in because it is mainly orchards which doesn’t require a huge population to be exposed to. Take care and looking forward to the next post.
Thank you for sharing your lives. For being so honest about your fears of Covid-19. Being isolated sucks! I can’t work now, schools are closed but my husband still has to go to work. He’s an essential employee. We try not to think about getting sick but it’s hard when that is all you see or hear. I am thankful I live on 2 acres and surrounded by woods with no neighbours. I miss my daughter and my grandkids and can’t wait for the day I can hug them all. Keep up the posts and please, Stay Safe!
Since leaving TV you have provided those of us who thought Emily was the star of the show with a continuity of seeing her and your true characters. Please be encouraged to keep writing and sharing videos
Tony, thank you for updating us on how your family is coping. I live in Va Beach, Va. I enjoy going to quieter beach locations, like Chick’s Beach for my meditative time and I miss that a great deal. I’ve been working from home for the last 3 weeks, and like Emily, I go to the grocery store once a week. I’ve been using pick up and delivery for a lot of things, but I prefer to shop for fresh items in person. I am taking social distancing very seriously and ive discovered that human interaction is vital for me. I miss my circle of people 😔
Your blog helped brighten my day, so thank you. I look forward to your next post!
We are retired so we only go out for food. We have sent out 2 times to support local small business last one we had delivered so no interaction.
We have custody of our 11 year old granddaughter who is doing school on line.
We have gone to a park 2 times but went to an empty parking lot to walk and let our granddaughter ride her bike but only because we found a empty spot.
We take many precautions at the grocery store.
I know God has control of this and am praying for our country to be on theirs knees to Him.
God Bless your family and stay safe
Emily and Tony. Thanks for the update on you all. I’m praying for good health for you both and the children and extended family. Read Psalm 91; it really will give you peace of mind in these times. God bless and keep you all safe and happy.
I am more blessed than most, but I am riding this out alone. I have children who live nearby so my needs are met, but it would be nice to have some little ones to interact with.
Enjoy your posts.
Thank you both for updating us.
I live in the city Brugge, Belgium they call it the little Venice of Europe. Normally we have a lot off tourists in the street, where they now are empty. It’s a ghost town and so unreal. I’m staying at home now for 5 weeks, going out with 😷 on.
Because I’m alone and don’t work anymore , there is not so many changed … except going to the grocery.
No fresh veggies here, all in glass containers or frozen. Everything that don’t belong in the fridge stays in the bags for a week. All the fridge things out of there packages in containers. Faster done than to clean everything. In the meantime washing hands, washing hands and washing again 🙈
Afterwards all my clothes in the washer and I under the shower😬😬
Crazy times at the moment.
Stay safe and healthy.
And I like Emily’s new hair colours 👌🏻
Thank you, and you stay safe too. Its sounds like you are doing the best you can =)
I am glad you are both working. My son was laid off and that is just one more fear I add to my list.
My daughter is a respiratory therapist. To add to this worry, her hours have been cut because the hospital is not generating income. She has been exposed multiple times and has watched helplessly patients die. Emotionally I know it is taking a toll on her.
My husband and I are retired. We are juggling our finances trying to help our children.
Thank-you for giving me an outlet to express my fears. I enjoy reading about your family.
We are in Arizona and hoping our extreme heat will help shorten our exposure to the virus.
Me too, I hope everything works out for your family. These truly are scary times, but hopefully there is a light not too far ahead- tony
Thanks for the family update. We are retired and only go out for groceries. We wear masks and gloves, and get in/out quick. Here in Indiana, the weather has been mostly cold and gloomy, with a just few nice days since the stay at home order began. That said, we are ready for warm weather so we can take walks and work in the yard. I haven’t seen my elderly parents for a month as my brother is tending to their needs. My 90 year old dad is high risk, so I stay away for that reason. I enjoyed watching both of you on Doc Pol. Take care!!
I enjoy reading your blog. Y’all stay safe and healthy. The COVID-19 has kept me from getting home back to Michigan. I go down the Texas in Jan for the winter months. I was suppose to come home in the end of March. However, because of COVID-19 my Husband was unable to fly down to Texas so we could drive home together. It’s looking like I wont be getting home until sometime in May. I miss my Husband and my Sons.
I bet, I’m sorry. Hang in there
Thank you so much for continuing to share your lives with us. It’s like looking out a window during these times of confinement. Like you, I am blessed, and realize my situation is far better than most. I retired a year ago after my husband died of early on-set Alzheimer’s disease (a 15 year long goodbye). I put my house on the market in early March to downsize and move closer to my married son. I have an adult son who lives with me who is on the Autisim spectrum. My house sold in two days and I found a house 5 minutes from my son. It’s scary moving at this time because I worry that the movers will be shut down (so far so good) and I can’t make donations to thrift stores (even our dump is shut down except for residential garbage). I only go out when necessary, but this change requires me to move about much more than I would like. I do wear masks and gloves and practice social distancing as well as cleaning, but I live in a suburb of Washington, DC and there is more activity than I would like to see. All this seems petty when I think about people who are truly risking exposure or are devasted financially. I read somewhere that we are not all in the same boat, but we are all in the same storm. However, your boat may be on the rocks, and mine may be in a safe little cove.
By the way, my sister and I visited Dr. pol last July. I was so sorry to have missed the possibility to meet you and Emily, but I totally understand why you made the decision to make the change. I think that is why I so enjoy following your blog. You are in a beautiful part of the country, and I know your quality. of life has improved. You are great parents! Keep up the good work!
What a pleasant and, in a way, uplifting post. I know we are all in this, but it’s nice to hear how others (not celebrities, Lord knows I really don’t care how they are living stuck at home in their mansions) are managing day to day. I don’t have small children to home school my son is doing his chem engineering courses online and believe me I can’t help with that! My daughter is an ICU nurse across the country from me and I worry about her, but she’s doing what she loves and helping people every day. Take care. Blessings.
glad you guys are doing good!
Hi Tony and Emily…my life has not changed all that much because I have not been going out that much anyway. I have a blood cancer problem that leaves me weak and tired so have not been able to do most things I used to. Glad to read that you guys are all doing ok.
Thank you for that update. Social distancing is hard, and I can’t imagine having little ones at home, and trying to explain it to them. My husband is an essential employee, so financially we haven’t been effected. I feel so bad for our restaurant owners, small business owners, and those who have lost their jobs. Also so devastating for all the lives lost. We have been blessed to live in a more rural part of Missouri where we have had only 3 cases. I pray this is over soon!
You guys stay safe, and God bless!
Hi Tony. Thanks for another interesting blog. Things haven’t changed just too much for me. I was already working from home, then I go fix dinner for my parents, and so glad to be able to continue that so I can keep up with them. Was easy to add their grocery needs to mine for pickup. Only downside is that during this time, they celebrated their 63rd anniversary, and their 88th & 87th birthdays, since they were born days apart! But so many family and friends reached out to them on social media, texts and phone calls, I think its safe to say they felt the love! Stay safe. Blessings to you, Emily and the kids! 😊
I’m a 9-1-1 dispatcher, so I understand the “essential” part. I haven’t seen my grandkids in person in over a month. But I have sent them things to do. Scavenger hunts, books, and next week they are getting boxes of spring crafts. Stay safe and healthy.
Hey Tony, We always stay by our animals side when we have to put them down, our vet is allowing owners inside during this issue, how about your office? When you go out to bring the pet into the office are you using your own lead? How are the clients paying? Do they hand you a c/c or call in #”s. ? I bet Doc Emilys hair would have looked real good on our big screen when you guys were doing the show. We enjoy following both of you.
Euthanasia is the one exception to the rule, we do allow clients in for that. I do use a slip lead when I get pets from their owners, I don’t want any pet getting away from me in the parking lot, I would feel so terrible if that happened. And, yes, people usually hand me a c/c to pay, but they have the option to call as well. I bet her hair would look good on t.v. I know I like it =)
My daughter goes running in her neighborhood n the family went walking in one of the nearby parks in north VA. They went early so there weren’t too many people out & about. They’re able to work from home so I think they need to get out a bit other than just to the market.
Thanks for posting! One of my favorite memories from childhood was of leaving that egg in vinegar until it was rubbery. Then my dad took a milk bottle, ripped off a piece of newspaper and twisted it up, then lit it with a match and dropped it into an empty milk bottle. He immediately set the rubbery egg (that was bigger than the opening of the bottle) on top of the bottle with the burning paper. We were fascinated as the egg “shrunk up” to fit as it was “pulled into” the bottle. I thought it was magic!!! But then when I was in science in high school and we studied “vacuums” I remembered that egg and completely understood a vacuum. I think a juice bottle with a wide-mouth top would be about the right size…so be sure India and Calvin get to see that “trick”!
that’s a good idea, thanks
Because of the virus our lives have become an ongoing replay of “Groundhog Day”. Its a small blessing when I can remember what day of the week it is. The sooner they find a treatment for Covid-19 the better. Everybody is getting a bit stir crazy.
Thanks for the post. I got a call from my sister who lost her husband at Thanksgiving after 45 years of marriage. Very sad, healthy person sick one day and died 5 days later. She was crying and feeling like she will never see her kids or grandkids again. (daughter & 2 grandkids in Birmingham; one son & 2 grandsons in Colorado). She wants to drive & I want to go with her to see them but I can’t because my husband is 20 yrs older than me and can’t be left alone. I feel so horrible for her situation. I hope your right that this is not the new normal, just a blip in the road.
I so enjoy reading your posts. Glad your family is staying healthy. Im staying in ,have gone for groceries a few times. My husband is in law. Enforcement so he has to go to work.,so our day to day is somewhat the same. I have actually come to enjoy being home, I have been cooking and baking,taking the dog for walks . I haven’t missed working yet., but I do hope life will get back to a more normal so we all can enjoy summer.
A very good article to be 330 in the morning. I retired so I’m home all the time anyway except we go to the store on Saturday morning. I have 2 German shepherds and our agility class every Monday is canceled. This I really miss . My husband is a retired WV state trooper and now works for the Marshall services so he is deemed necessary. So nothing really has changed other then no eat on Saturday. Take care y’all ❤️
I feel like we are ” cousins ” since I have grown to love and know you all so well. You get a medal for writing us at 3:30a.m. ! ! It means the world to us” cousins” ! I hope you find time to play board games and cards with the kids. Our family loved silly games like Old Maid, Crazy Eights, Concentration, etc. We played checkers and Chinese Checkers finally moving on to Monopoly, Game of Life, etc. As adults our favorites were Rummy and poker. Stay safe, sending hugs from Southern Cal., write again soon….God bless America
Hang in there!
My kids are adults and out of the house so I can’t imagine what you all are going through but we are all in this together! I really enjoy you’re blogs and vlogs! I really enjoy the skits! That’s talent!
God is still in control!
I was wondering how daycare works during quarantine? Do they keep the kids apart? LOL And the toys?
yeah, the kids cannot play together, they have to keep 6 feet apart
That must be hard to do. I really hope it doesn’t scare these little ones to much. Growing up being afraid to go near people is really sad.
Tony so glad you, the kids and Dr Emily (love the pink) are all healthy and well! Here in my moderately sized town of Delaware, OH we have an App called Nextdoor that is meant to connect neighborhoods to the rest of our town with notices, for sales, questions etc . But there are some people who have decided that this is the proper forum for rants at anything they feel has wronged them, their neighborhood or God forbid Delaware! Most of the perceived wrongs are just not the big deal they try to make them out to be.
Two weeks ago a lady posted that she and her husband were just looking just looking positively shaggy and if anyone could message them about coming to their house to give them haircuts! Seriously! The Governor closed all hair, nails, spa etc to flatten the curve! So asking a stylist to come cut your hair could cost them their license, a very large fine and possible jail time. The rants that post caused have been on going for 2 weeks now. You’d have thought that the virus was here just to inconvenience people. It’s been a very, very long Full Moon here in Delaware, OH!
Glad to hear you are alright. This situation is very stressful as it goes on and the continuing disinfecting of things. But we have to be vigilant. I’m grateful it’s spring, and there is beauty outdoors. We take a Sunday drive and stay in our car, but every time someone goes to the grocery store, it’s a worry. We are past 60, so we are concerned about that too. Y’all take care, and yes, enjoy this “special “ time together with your children…they are delightful.
Thankful you guys are doing well! My job is unessential, so I’m pretty much hunkered down except for weekly trips for groceries …..and walking my doggies most days when weather permits. I’m also cleaning off my DVR and loving my naps! lol Looking forward to the day when life feels more normal!
I feel as though I’m in the same boat. I also live in Virginia and work in the veterinary field. I’m an LVT in a referral/emergency hospital, and we have been fully operational from the start of the quarantine. I currently live with my elderly parents and 8 year old daughter. I too, worry about bringing any illness home to my family. How can we be sure that everyone is answering those symptoms/illness questions honestly? I wash my hands AFTER clocking out, and use my hips/feet to open doors when leaving. I change my clothes in the garage, before going in the house. Once in the house, I wash my hands again, up to my elbows, as well as my face and glasses. Some people may think all that is overkill, but I think of it as protecting my family.
At work we do complete wipe downs every hour, we are not allowing clients into the hospital (end of life is our only exception, and require a mask be worn). All employees are wearing reusable cloth masks. Our histories are obtained over the phone, as well as payment, so my only interaction with outside humans is during patient transfer. We have a double door system to come into the lobby, so that vestibule is where we meet to get patients to bring in for exams, procedures, etc. I place on their neckband ID and one of our slip leads, and remove their leash/collar (fomites). Overall, things seem to be working out well. Our hospital is big enough that distancing ourselves has been fairly easy. Plus my department only has three of us (2 techs/1 Dr). I’m an introvert and have never been someone who likes crowds, or even people in general, I’ve always kept my distance, but even I’m finding this social distancing now so much more than I’m used to, and at times even a little lonely. I never thought I’d ever say I couldn’t wait to hang out with people again! Haha!
I love seeing all your pictures and vlogs and reading your updates. Stay safe and healthy!
I don’t think what you’re doing to protect your family is overkill. My biggest fear right now is getting one of my kids sick. Stay safe and good luck
I live in a town that still believes this is all a “hoax”. 41,000 have died. Somebody’s Mom , Dad, uncle, sister or child. There is enough sadness to go around but like you have tried to concentrate on the kindness that many people have displayed. Kinda gives us hope in mankind, huh? I hope so!! Keep writing. I love it!!
Since I’m a firm believer in knowledge is power may I suggest watching these 4 videos since you guys aren’t sleeping well. Start with Dr. Ioannides and follow each one. The links are in the description box. These doctors are leaders in the field https://youtu.be/d6MZy-2fcBw 😊
Would love to hear more about your experiences in vet school. Becoming a vet was my lifelong dream, but I got very sick in college (blood cancer) and had to leave. Still, it’s my only regret in life.
Hi, to you, and your whole family.
I am so ready for this virus to be over, like everyone else.
My heart breaks for the families going through the worst of it.
Yes, I am so tired of “Being Grounded”, but we had to think of everyone around us, right now. There is no such thing as “To Safe” ,right now.
We have our oldest son, in a very hard hit area, and like most mothers I am not sleeping very well.
The best part of all is this Friday, April 24, 2020, I will be having surgery, and that means no visitors, not even my husband.
I hope that most of us will come out of this pandemic with a better prospective on what is Really important in Life.
God, Family and life’s.
Take care, Tony, Dr. Emily, and all of your family
Stay safe.
To the Thomas family, love all of you. Hearing Tony say what is going on at the clinic is reality in front of us. Here in Michigan some people just don’t get it to ware a face mask and keep the distance, stay safe in VA.
