Heading Home

Well, my flight back home leaves in ten hours. It has been a fun-filled five days with my fabulous family :o) We came, we saw, we visited. We laughed (and, I cried, but not about anything here...) He graduated, we partied. I don't think I slept past 8:30 ANY of the days which is kind of a crazy vacation for me, but I definitely made up for the "early rising" with a couple naps :o)

I didn't take as many pictures as I usually do, but there were lots of cameras going. I may still be able to make some sort of slide show once I get home (AFTER I do some sort of exercising...I am not sure how I am going to start to work off all the food I ate!) If it is raining or something when I get home, maybe I'll even do a sort of then and now slide show since I think the last graduation party all of us were at was my college graduation seven years ago :o)

Good night from here...back to "there" tomorrow :o)

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.
