Week In Review

This family has had one busy week! Matt had been coughing at the beginning of last week, so on Thursday after all my failed Mom/ER Nurse tricks, it was time to take the munchkin to the pediatrician. She gave him oral steroids and breathing treatments. In case you've never wrestled with a strong-willed, big muscled 1o month old to keep a mask with aeresolized medicine over his face for 10 minutes 3 times a day, trust me- it ain't no fun. He's back to his normal self now- silly and ornery and full of pep. That's my boy!

My girlfriend Susie flew in from San Francisco for a visit and the old ER gang got together for our usual drink fest. We tried to convince her to move back to Miami, but I think she's a California gal now. She's the blond on the right. I think the California sun must be stronger, because her hair is blonder now than ever before. Hmmm...

The boy has now perfected the art of pulling himself up on almost everything. Lord help us...


Saturday I had to work my one day a month as a staff nurse in the ER. My co workers were teasing me that I might forget how to be a nurse since I am in the office most of the time. It's one of those things you don't forget! My crazy psych patient hit on me- that made my day. I love my job.

Sunday was mostly a day of rest! We went out to breakfast and took naps in the afternoon. I tried to make a rum cake, but forgot to grease the pan, so I got half a rum cake. Nice.

Oh, yeah and last week I had a root canal. Fun times at the Snap-Crackle-Pop-Odopoulos house.
