AWOL

Posted by Kimberly on March 12th, 2005 — Posted in Zen Baby, Oncology Odyssey

The panic is over.

Zen Baby came through the C-T scan ok.

Our Nurse is so wonderful that rather than wait around in the break room until it was time to bring her back, she gowned up and held Zen Baby’s hand through it all. I cannot say enough good things about the nurses at CHWO. Wow. Those are some amazingly strong, compassionate women. I am in awe.

Zen Baby’s completely recovered from the testing drama (and I’m on the way). We’re AWOL right now, actually. (Absent With Oncologist’s Leave). They won’t be doing anything to her in the next couple of days, so there’s no reason for us to be there. Except that there’s that pesky bed shortage. So we’re sleeping there, and out on a “day pass”. Gosh, that makes me sound like a mental patient. Well, if the shoe fits, I guess.

Good thing we’re out, ‘cuz everything hit the fan on laundry day, among other things. So I’m home gathering up Diva Girl’s underwear to take to Gramma’s house. And hey, there’s a silver lining! Gramma will have to do the laundry! Of course, those breaksfast dishes I left in the sink are my responsibility. Ick.

I may update later. Just wanted to keep everyone informed and say thanks and keep those support messages coming. I kinda don’t care if you think, “Jeez, how many times can I say “I’m here for you” without her thinking I sound like a weenie?” Because the answer lies somewhere past infinity. It always gives me a lift to check here and see that someone has left a message. (gosh, now I sound like a prime candidate for Munchausen by Proxy!).
