Do I have anything to say?: Vacation Time!

Vacation Time!

I went to the doctor since I am leaving town in the morning. She said it is a cold, so I did a LOT of sleeping and water drinking :) My throat already feels better and I think I can deal with the runny nose!

I talked to my aunt this afternoon about some of our plans for this weekend. I'm not someone who needs to be entertained and enjoy "down time". However, I'm excited that the plan is to spend Sunday walking around Nashville. I have been to visit them a number of times, but it's been a while since we spent time IN the city. I found out that my cousin's Godparents will be in town as well, so that will be fun. It sounds like we will be going to some nice restaurants and of course going to church a couple times :)

I did get a call about a couple foster kids today, siblings. I let the caseworker know that I will be out of town for a couple days. The kids may not need immediate placement, so she may end up calling me again. I only have one bed, so need to figure out what to do if I get a sibling placement (or if maybe I SHOULDN'T take a sibling placement since I only have one bed...)

Well, I'd better pack so I can go to bed. My dad is picking me up at 5:30!
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.
