Lots of those batteries available online. Just have to figure out delivery.

I’m going to see if I can find one here and stick it in the mail, amazon said something about halting delivery on non-essentials (I thought)

No, they’re not taking deliveries into their warehouses from suppliers. They are still shipping out what they have.

The issue is that the dorm isn’t accepting packages - so it needs to look like a letter.

I mean, they are apparently holding packages, and not delivering them. Or something like that. For a month.

Seriously? That’s one of the safest ways to get food.

Amazon will deliver to lockers which are likely close to her. They have them at whole foods for example.

Doesn’t she know anyone with a car?

Ship it to me if it doesn't look like a letter. I can take it to her!

I posted last night just before I crashed hard and went to bed. I see that I left out the key piece of information that Muffin's Sister used the thermometer that her friends gave her and her temperature was normal.

She has no other symptoms, so I think all is well for now. I'll be talking to her today and will find out if she's still feeling okay.

I freaked out a little and ran to UPS to rush her a thermometer. I threw a baggie with a few Tylenols in it, too.

Hy the time I got home, her angelic friends had combed the Phoenix area and found one. They couldn't find her any regular Tylenol, but they got her some Tylenol PM. I told her to hang onto my thermometer in case one of her angelic friends needed it. The Tylenol will be useful if she needs it, because it doesn't seem good to be sleepy all day and night. It would make it hard to hydrate and take care of yourself.

Oh, who am I kidding? Her tough start in life left her with some unknown degree of scarring in her lungs. If she gets sick, I'll be in a car driving down there.
