Do I have anything to say?: Sorry to disappoint

Sorry to disappoint

my three readers, but the pictures will have to wait until tomorrow (or later). I just talked to a college friend on the phone for over an hour. We hadn't talked in MONTHS and her birthday is tomorrow. So, I'm thinking that friends take priority over blogging...plus the fact that I have a stack of policies and procedures that need to be read before my 9:30 meeting.

So, time to go try and keep myself awake reading about such exciting things as "Weight Trending of Hospitalized Patients", "Infection Control Policy Template", and "Prevention of IV-Device-Related Infection"...wish me luck :o)

Good night.

And about your "exciting reading", I would have more fun watching paint dry or bugs eating my favorite plants:) I admire your dedication so much.

Who's Who

Updated September 2013

I have one sister who is married and has two boys. "A" was born June 2009 and "I" was born March 2012. We are both really close to my parents and have lots of "family dinners".

I wrote a lot about my patients when I first started this blog. Some patients are still growing and thriving, and others have lost their battles.

My first foster placements lived with me from June 2010-September 2011. They were sisters who were 15 and almost 3 when they were placed with me and are now 18 and 5. I called M "the teen" and L "the little one". They live with their mom who still has many issues, but are doing well (ok) and I still have (not enough) contact with them.

My second foster placement came to me September 6, 2012. I call her Zoe and she turned 5 in April. She has cystic fibrosis and has been a patient on my floor at the hospital. The plan is still reunification.

Ivy is a 17-year-old whose mom died just before Thanksgiving. She has a Guardian, but is unable to live with him due to some family issues. She has no other family who is willing/able to take her. She moved in with me the beginning of February. She moved to a group home at the beginning of August as her needs were too great for me with my schedule and having another child with special needs.
