  • DaughterGeeding is having a rough go of it this month. Last night she woke up with an earache and a fever of 103.2 F, so I had to take her to the doctor yesterday. The fever was too high for an ear infection, so they ran a flu test, but thankfully it wasn’t the flu. Her primary cause of illness is a viral infection followed by an ear infection. But as ill as she is, she’s got a great attitude which makes me adjust my outlook on life.

Company-wide, this works out to roughly one chaplain on staff for every 1,000 Tyson employees.
