Do I have anything to say?: It will be coming...I promise!

It will be coming...I promise!

This has been a crazy week, probably one that it would have helped me IMMENSELY if I had taken the time to journal, but it just didn't happen. I have managed to take care of myself in other ways (since, you know, I have awesome friends!), but it isn't quite the same as getting it all out this way.

A new post will be coming...I promise. I just can't promise when that will be.

I want to wish all the moms Happy Mother's Day! I will be having brunch at mom and dad's with my grandparents and my sister and brother-in-law. I heard that they will wait to eat until I get there after church, but it isn't MY day, so I will have to just "deal" if that doesn't end up happening.

Well, I told my sister I would bring her some hummus, so I'd better make that before I go to bed. It is pretty late for me considering I've been up since 6 and I still need to wrap my mom's gift and write my cards.

Thank you all who are sending prayers this way...they are MUCH appreciated (and felt!)
Good night!

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.
