Thank you for all of the well wishes for our doctor's speedy recovery. The deluge into our inbox of all the warm wishes has been heartening.
A quick update from here. By close of business yesterday, we completed all of the calls to anyone who had potentially been in contact with her (defined as "within 6 feet" of proximity) even before she had any symptoms. Since she had only been in the animal hospital once, more than a week ago, there weren't many to notify. Her last day in started the 14-day count, which concludes on March 29th, and then we will re-open with appropriate social distancing.
The only other people being called are those who need to be rescheduled. We are also closing at 5pm during this week. The disinfection procedures that we initially heightened many weeks ago are being continued, as are additional deep cleaning procedures. As medical professionals, we default to over-sanitizing and that's just fine.
In speaking to our doctor today, she continues to improve and greatly appreciates all of the thoughts and prayers. She asked us to thank you, ergo this update. Thank you. We also appreciate the flexibility in rescheduling the appointments for this week by those who were affected by our semi-closure. We also appreciate those who have held off on non-urgent calls -- a couple more days ought to do it. Most everybody has been gracious, which is very much appreciated.
We are blessed with such a tremendously supportive, smart and loving community. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those far more impacted in our community. We know these are trying times. We know people are stressed out. It's the graciousness in the face of all that stress we appreciate, and remember.
We have the best clients in the world. They have proven it once again. Thank you so much for all the well wishes and support.
