Awake: 6:17am Temp 32 sleep 6+23 sunny overnight @ Las Vegas, Nevada.
Kathy calls Melissa in PA; she reports that early this morning, about 2:00am, Andrew had a seizure; I listened to some of this conversation, then decided to get our coach ready to travel & Kathy could tell me the story as we roll down the highway. Kathy knows the routine for departure so without interrupting her conversation, she would do her part in the process, including going outside & watching the turn-signal, brake, & tow hitch check.
We leave the beautiful Outdoor Resorts of America Motorcoach Resort in Las Vegas @ 10:07am, retracing our path, taking the Blue Diamond state hwy 160 back to Pahrump. Kathy continues her talk with Melissa until our cell signals fade while getting into the Red Rock Mountain area. Then she relates the story to me: Andrew woke, very thirsty and very warm &, after drinking some water, he had a febrile convulsion/seizure. Melissa nursed him when he recovered from the seizure and he then vomited and became very sleepy. Melissa called the ER, but they would not advise her as to what she should do; she called the pediatric service & they advised her to take him into the ER so he could be examined for any more serious condition. They returned from the ER @ 5:00 am and went to bed for a couple hours. @ 8:00 AM they took Andrew to see his doctor who agreed it was a febrile seizure and prescribed Tylenol every 4 hrs for 48 hours. A pretty scary happening in the middle of the night!
We arrive back at Pahrump @ 11:09am. Today’s travel: 51.7 miles 1+17 time 10.5 gal used 5.0 mpg 39.8 avg speed. After parking, I walk over to the Saddle West Casino & pay our camping fee in advance.
Later, I call Gary & Rosemary who continue camping just across the street in another campground; they visit with us for an hr & then we join them @ the 5:00pm vigil Mass @ Our Lady of the Valley Catholic church. Afterwards, we leave G & R talking with ole friends & we return to our bus for a dinner of: leftover chili & toast.
Evening DVR movie: “Grand Hotel” with Greta Garbo, John Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Wallace Beery, Lionel Barrymore, etc. A story of the plush Berlin hotel where “nothing ever happens.” Stars prove the contrary: Garbo as lonely ballerina, John B, her jewel-thief lover, Lionel B. a dying man, Crawford as ambitious stenographer. Beery a hardened businessman, Stone the observer. Best Picture Oscar winner. 1932. A must see.
