Why go to the ER when the goods can come to you

No more waiting in the ER like a chump. After jumping through multiple hoops with the medical carrier and home health services, we narrowly avoided a trip to the ER when another serious bout of dehydration. A home health nurse came and put a tap in mom's hand and stomach. A daily dose of IV fluids and a 24/7 Zofran pump put an end to nausea. Carrying around a pump isn't the coolest (it has a shoulder bag, not a fanny pack) but a constant flow of meds keeps the sickness at bay.

I can't wait to become a G-Auntie. I hope they both have loud cries and like to scream a lot. I can't wait to teach them how to whistle with crackers in their mouth and blow their straw paper off to irritate everyone. Their first gifts will be matching drum sets or better yet.....KAZOOS!!!!
Come on October (for Sarah) and November (for Kate). Didn't think I'd be a G-Auntie three times in one year. More later you can bet on that.
