Catching a cold

Got a call from Anna today that Dad seemed to be catching a cold. I stopped by a little while ago to visit for a bit. He was quite sleepy. He was in his room in the recliner watching TV, but very dozy. They are trying to keep the residents separated to help allay sharing of the virus. Anna said he had a slight fever in the morning (99) and that his voice was hoarse, occasional coughing. I told her she could give him Tylenol which she had done. He seemed fairly comfortable, though pale when I saw him. She is helping him eat and drink to ensure maintaining hydration. We're having a little heat wave...the change in weather seems to be affecting people...Paul had a bad cold last week.
