We are spending the night with Grandma and Papa Grace tonight. They are watching the girls while I take Ben to see his new doctor tomorrow. He is seeing the nephrologist about his high blood pressure. I have no idea what to expect at tomorrow’s visit. The good news is that I am walking in with absolutely no expectations therefore I can’t be disappointed. Ben is not thrilled about tomorrow. I think he is more mad about missing out on Grandma and Papa time. Who could blame him? I would rather be any where but the medical center tomorrow, so I can only imagine what he is thinking.
I can hear books being read in the other room while the puddles prepare for bed. I am sitting in a quiet room typing away. What a gift this quiet is. It has been a rough few weeks for illnesses in this house. Chris is still sick. When we left him at the house, he was still running a fever. For him that is rough. He doesn’t do illness well. Not many do. Someone asked me today if I was being a good nurse. I said no. But I was a great CNA (certified nurse’s assistant). They are the unsung heroes of the medical world that really do a lot of the grunt work. The pee, poo, and vomit is generally their domain (and other areas), so I certainly think that I have earned my CNA stripes.
So we are off tomorrow with great hopes for answers.
