She's Here

The teen decided to come this morning instead of last night which was fine with me. She talked my ear off and we "hung out" until it was time for me to go to a college football game with my dad. She stayed at my parents' house while we were at the game since I don't have the channel the game was on. Now, she is trying to figure out a movie with her friend...I'm glad tonight is "fall back" because it's going to be a late movie at this point and I have to work in the morning. I hope this "social" doesn't fall through because she seriously went out with friend less than half a dozen times in the 16 months she lived with me. Her mom has made comments that basically tell me she doesn't really want the teen having friends which is sad (or that she doesn't want her hanging out with them anyway). I thought they were going to pick some movie I don't want to see that is at least a half an hour drive from my house, so it's not like I'd turn around and go back to get them. But, now they seem to have picked a movie that I want to see, so yay for that.

Time to go. Still on course for blogging every day in November for whatever that acronym is or whatever...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.
