Today's big plans for Joe's return to PGUMC since Feb 12 had a slight hiccup. He woke up in the middle of the night nauseous and had to throw up. Then soon thereafter his fever started coming on and by 6am, it was at 101.3. I got him to take some tylenol to see if it would lower the fever somewhat and fortunately it did, but it meant he had to miss the 8:30am service. We did make it there for the 11am service and got a round of applause when Jay announced that Joe was back. I think the congregation as a whole was very excited and pleased that he was there. After the service several people came up to both of us to express how wonderful it was to hear him play again and that no one played the organ like he did. Although it was only half as much as he had planned, at least he did make it back.
The afternoon has been spent with Joe and me napping on the couch in the family room while Joe's mother finally had the chance to read this blog from start to finish (she doesn't have a computer).
All in all a good weekend, but I think just a little more activity from start to finish than Joe is quite used to yet and this morning's bought of nausea and fever was the end product. Pacing himself, eating snacks throughout the day and not such heavy meals in one sitting, which usually means having seconds, should help alleviate these recurring problems.
It was wonderful to see Joe back up there with the choir today. They did an excellent job on their anthem.
