Not too much different has been going on in the PICU. I am still amazed at the work our crew does and the resiliency of children. Ex: Just recently we had a 15 mo old who was on the highest form of mechanical ventilation we have, was on numerous medication drips to sustain life, and was made a no code (do nothing if her heart stops). We all cried with the family and were physically and emotionally drained. Yet, we continued to keep on and just a few weeks ago after being on a ventilator for over a month she went home with no tubes or other strings attached. This made me and the rest of our doctors and nurses feel so proud to be part of our amazing team and gave us each motivation to carry us for a long while. Its why we come to work daily!
Other news...we had a little glitch in our contract with our current apartment complex and did not move to Ric in April like we had planned. We are now moving on one of the best weekends of the year (the kick-off to summer). We are very happy to be moving closer to our family and our jobs, but not too excited about all the packing we must start soon. Its amazing the amount of stuff two people can accumulate in such a short amount of time. Regardless, we are still very much enjoying married life and are very excited for what the future holds for us. Forgive me if I do not post again for a bit, we havent had internet in our apt since April and making trips to Panera to get online don't happen often. Have a great week everyone!
