Lots of the nurses we worked with were kind. Many were sort of non-present, which is okay too. Outside of IV stuff and blood draws, we do all of the nursing type care ourselves. Whenever Grace's IV pump alarmed though, on the last night, I would crawl out of bed, hit the call button and bark, "Her infusion is alarming." Pet Peeve of mine. (I think we lost the first IV site in the ER in part because the infusion stopped and it alarmed for an HOUR before anyone came in to either flush it or restart the maintenance fluids).
I did almost flip out on a nurse who suggested we should put a PICC line in Grace to make blood draws easier. WHAT? She has been admitted to the hospital ONCE in 3+ almost 4 years for non-preplanned surgery reasons. This is an amazing record for a kid with a trache who attends public school and has for years. For a little sicky, Grace is amazingly resilient and hardy. But she wanted to put a PICC line? Ridiculous.
Also, I use this [link] to the list of LA quakes directly. Sometimes the new interface confuses me.
ita, I love that grey dress.
That dress is great!
It is so hard watching someone make bad relationship decisions. Not a darn thing I can do about it, just frustrating as hell. It is kinda one of those "fuck me over once, shame on you, do it twice, shame on me" situations. Wish I could just not know what is going on but that isn't an option.
Ah, Suzi. Been on both sides of that one, as y'all well know.
ita !, gorgeous dress. And it's not dark, it's shiny! So there.
So have I mentioned before that Payphone by Maroon 5 puts Sammy to sleep instantly? Because just now he was fussing, crying, rubbing his eyes, and nursing on and off over and over. I finally turned on Payphone and he closed his eyes, started nursing, and is now calm and quiet.
Oh, happy day! The second piece of paper I pull out of the Big Box o' Random Genealogy Paper was the Xerox of the court order of Hubby's adoption! That gives me at least a copy to work with and a case number to request more if the DMVs get pissy.
Best way to get rid of furniture: craigslist, ebay, what? I've got a futon, a couch that belongs back on the curb, a glass top dining table and chairs, and a papasan chair. Three of them were free, but I still want to make a little money off them (especially the evil papasan. Oh, evil childhood dream that turned out to be so bad for my back!).
craigslist for furniture has been my experience. that or garage/yard sale.
