Do I have anything to say?: More to Come...

More to Come...

I really want to spend time in reflection about all that happened this weekend, but tonight is not the night. It is now after midnight, I worked all day, and I need to get everything together for a meeting tomorrow morning (starts at 8:30...ugh!) I did do the Shred when I got home since I couldn't miss ANOTHER workout! So, in the mean time, here are a few pictures from what was quite the "spiritual" weekend.

I was supposed to meet with the counselor tomorrow, but she called to let me know she was not feeling well and wanted to reschedule. I ended up talking to her for at LEAST 15 minutes which is 1/4 of a "visit" that was free...ha! I did point that out to her and it made her laugh...I'm ALWAYS up for free therapy ;o)

Well, I have no clue where the stuff for my meeting is and am sure I won't want to wake up earlier to search for it, so better get to that and then hit the hay.

Prayers to {aefilkins} and her family who found out today that the baby she was carrying had passed away. Also, October 15 is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, so prayers to all who have experienced such loss, or loves someone who has.

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.
