Rising Waters

9am-5pm Day Clinic; Saw twenty kiddos in varying states of stress, illness and general outrage toward me and my otoscope.

6pm-9pm Night Clinic; Saw seventeen kiddos with varying degrees of vomiting, diarrhea, and general fluids erupting from orifice.

10 pm Home in Cold Attic; I learn that the waters are rising on the Chehalis River and the Newaukum River. River will reach flood stage tonight or early tomorrow a.m. Interstate 5 may close which would prevent me from getting to the clinic. Apparently if the Skookumchuck River gets to Phase 2 (not that high) then I will not be able to leave the house, as the small Dead End street I live on will be surrounded. At least I live in the attic.
