Do I have anything to say?: I Did It!

I Did It!

I'm not sure why I sent out to write a blog post every day in November (I think it was "NaBloPoMo", but I actually have no idea what that means!) And, it was tough and any "readers" I have likely suffered through way too many "nonsense" posts, but I am hopeful that I also posted some good things this month. It was nice to have a goal that I stuck with and actually reached :) A lot of things happened this month. Even with there being "cancer all around", I have a lot to be grateful for. I got to spend time with the teen (on her birthday AND for nine days while her mom was gone) and with the little one(s). I had a really fun time with my 1000th post (you should check it out if you missed it ;) ) That's probably enough links, but November 2011 will be a month to remember...especially since I now have "record" of what was going on each and every day ;) I am so very blessed and think it will be fun to remember these times when years from now I wonder what I was doing "way back when".

Today was a super busy day at work and I get to go back tomorrow (remember, this is my passion and my purpose...and my plan...ha!) 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.
