I had a few pictures left and wrote a draft and forgot to post it. Long week - things are slightly more in perspective for me - but poor Annie has another ear infection and this Mommy is tired of watching her baby suffer. This time they put her on a different antibiotic but it causes major stomach upset and my poor girl is so sensitive to begin with! One funny thing - I let Bob take her because I am way too weepy of late and thought I might have a psychotic breakdown if they told me she was sick again - good thinking right? So we need to follow up in 3 weeks - on November 12th. Bob mentioned that that might not work since we are due to deliver on November 11th and they decided to just charge us rent for our own room and told us to call when we get home from the hospital with Lizzie!
On another note - sort of sad but one of the main reasons that I love my job! My favorite patient was in yesterday - she swears I'm having a boy no matter what anyone says. She has been in and out of the hospital with HIV complications and colon cancer and she is such a trooper but not doing very well. She has 4 t-cells right now and we have all been a little shocked that she has survived as long as she has. When I met with her yesterday I complimented her on being a trooper and making it this long and she said that she was waiting for me to give birth because she was determined that she was going to hold my SON before she died! I am amazed that I could possibly be important enough to her but what an honor. I told her that wherever she was when I got out of the hospital I would bring the baby to see her!
