Watching fever/vitals through the weekend and laying low. No 10k runs or bench-pressing Volkswagens.
Neurosurgery, ENT, Infectious Disease and Neurology are discussing path-forward.
Taylor is in great spirits, with his Cross in his pocket. But he is sleepy, and very willing to just chill for the weekend. If his fever climbs or he starts feeling worse, we are to head for ER and they will admit him.
