Do I have anything to say?: I think I've been here before...

I think I've been here before...

In fact, I know I have.

Today was a really good day to be able to stay at home and do nothing. It was really cold outside, so I just "chilled" here at home.

I am SO ready for spring!

I will plan to write more about today tomorrow, but there are some things I need to do before bed. Prayers to all who need them tonight :o) Back to work tomorrow. I hope that somehow during the night the switch on my tears turns off because one of my favorite nurses is in charge tomorrow. Her favorite thing to tell me is "There's no crying at work!" Good thing she wasn't there yesterday!! :o) Ahh, that brought one of the biggest smiles of the day...tomorrow will be a GREAT day!

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.
