Wampum

Spent the morning observing a Stryker. A model Iraqis are unlikely to see. Nausea, vomiting, not feeling well. Blood draws to monitor blood levels of acetaminophen. Good equipment made by a socially responsible Canadian company, the bed of choice in the Maine Med ER.

Grace self-medicated for pain due to otitis media during the night.

Solve for 22kg with N * 500mg doses of acetaminophen. N is not known, though there is an upper bound.

Toxicity levels were not obtained. Administration of N-acetylcysteine was not necessary.

I spend so many nights up with the boys, and Grace kindly wanted to let me sleep. Age 8 is early for self-medication with a dangerous analgesic. We played fish and dozed and discussed one of Yaya's friends who tried to commit suicide by taking acetaminophen. A learning experience.

In BRAC list land there was a press availability today, heavily costumed, and really low on content. The vision that can't be named, but it can be scaled back to make it more palitable to those who's oxen are not gored. Tomorrow the balloon goes up. Will it be wine or vinager?
