My Little Koala Bear

Well I had to try Savannah's Halloween costume on and she looked so cute that I had to take a picture. I realized I may never get her all the way in it again as she can't stand the headpiece, but she makes a cute roly poly koala bear. The week is again flying by, in the next 12 days I have 4 tests, a quiz, two huge case studies to complete and a simulation of the big techniques before we head to clinicals (I.V. insertion and piggyback, foley catheter, different types of injections, nasogastric tubes, central line care and the list goes on and on). I can't wait until another two weeks from now. We had Savannah's 9 month well baby yesterday and she is still battling with ear infections, they actually now think that she has had the same infection for about 3 1/2 months now and it just isn't really going away. So we have been referred to ENT for further review and possible talks about ear tubes. The doctor looked at me though and said, "You do realize that your child is the size of an 18 month to 2 year old?" I wanted to say, really, no kidding, I never realized that she dwarfed kids her own age and could probably suffocate them if she accidentally sat on them! But she is tall for her age too so it's not just the buddha rolls on her. Although she does have a lot in common with the Great Buddha in Kamakura, maybe we will post a picture of that for comparison. It has been raining a lot down here in Florida and so we headed out to an indoor play area where they have the inflatable bounce houses and slides. It was a lot of fun for the kids and Savannah even got in on the action riding around in a Cozy Coupe Car. The only problem was she kept falling through the bottom. Fortunately, she is such a good sport about everything. Heard from Jaesen he is doing well and promising some pictures of his latest adventure, a week camping trip out in the bush. Or something along those lines. So keep tuned for the update. Well it's off to study time for me, take care, until next time.
