Abel and I flew back to Fairbanks today after he was discharged from the hospital. He's occasionally coughing up some schmutz, but he's eating well and acting like himself. He and I had a long wait, so by 5pm neither of us had eaten a thing and both were starving. So, some chips were on the agenda and he got the majority.
I talked to Clint again tonight. He had to drop 3 dogs in Galena and 1 in Nulato. All issues are pretty minor, it sounds like they'll all be fine. He is pretty sick and hasn't been eating so he said he feels pretty weak and dumpy. He said some wonderful folks in Nulato, including a nurse practitioner, are taking care of him and he's resting longer there. We'll still see him in Nome! Just a little later than he planned or wished. As long as everyone gets there happy and healthy, we're all good.
