Mommy rescue
My first call to pick a sick kid up from school on a while. Good thing I had the ability to go and get her, better that her school is really close to my work, although it's still 30 minutes from our house. Let's just say the stomach flu of the number two kind has hit.... Do sorry to those poor people stuck on the bus during that explosion.

Where on earth have I been?
Busy and working. I work at a doctor's office type of place and I have been spending pretty much every day off running from appointment to appointment... such is the life of a CDH provider.
E is getting closer to adoption. We have her packet and have started the final paperwork and are getting the adoption attorney in place. She's been slowly getting all of her equipment needs and were are getting closer to getting her a proper diagnosis. Lots of tests in her future.
D has been growing, Mom has been showing up to appointments, the maternal aunt is a good resource for her and seriously being considered at this time as a placement for him, but she's got her hands full, but since what he has is VERY rare and pretty much their family, the goal is ultimately family placement only. But we are enjoying him while we have him, of course having a 3 month old is a tad too much for hubby... he says NO MORE BABIES.
N is a call we just got and will probably get either tomorrow or Saturday. 13 year old girl with high medical needs, but not a really medically intensive case... if that makes any sense to you... makes more sense to a Nurse ;-)
Finally we'll be full and too busy for anything, I really hope I can get some nursing respite for this one... 10 hours a week is better than nothing.
