Lots Has Gone On....and this isn't even the tip of the iceberg
01:22 am - Family Emergency
Friday at 9am, I got a call at work to rush to the hospital, as my sister was in a major health crisis. I didn't have a clue as to what was going on, and only the worst kept rushing through my mind. I could barely udder the words to Jamie as I told her I had to leave because my sister was having some sort of problem and was at the hospital. Of course she was understanding, but I guess this was only her public showing.
Brandie had been scheduled for an Amniocentesis, Friday morning to check and see if the baby's lungs were developed for induction on Monday or Tuesday. Upon ultrasound, it was found that the baby had NO Amniotic fluid, and had to be born then. Well, in turn, Brandie got completely frightened and her blood pressure shot through the roof, far too high for her to even deliver the baby. What had been an emergent situation turned into a crisis. After many hours of sitting and waiting and lots of drugs, that wouldn't hurt the baby, the baby was delivered at 1157pm on 9/03/04. Christian Tylor weighed 5lbs and 14oz. I am not sure how long he was, I forgot to ask. I stood in the nursery window just starring at this little tiny baby so robust for such a little guy. I didn't get home till 3am on the 4th and was completely exhausted.
I had called into work at 7:30pm on the 3rd telling them that the way things were going it didn't look like I'd be able to go into work, so I was going to go ahead and cancel myself for that next day. This morning, or should I say, yesterday morning I got a call from Jamie, "Patients are dying and they need you here at work." BLOW ME!!!! Your are a GD nurse, go in your freaking self. I called her a little later, and again told her that I had called in to work at 7:30 pm the night before, and they had ample time to find a replacement for me. I told her that I was so exhausted there was no way I could actually work and be safe for my patients. "Well, I really need you to go into work on Sunday." "Jamie, I had every intention of coming into work on Sunday. It's like I told you, I had a major family issue come up, and I really needed to be there for them Yesterday." "Well, what exactly did happen Yesterday." I wanted to say, you know what that really isn't any of your business, and I am sure that you would find a way to make it less traumatic than what it really was. I didn't do that, but instead told her exactly what had happened. I really don't feel like it is any of her business, and frankly she has had plenty of her own personal issues come up that caused her to miss work for weeks at a time. Lord that place irritates the hell out of me.
In other news, Christopher and I seem to be closer than ever. I know after the bombshell he dropped it doesn't seem possible, but we are. I just got in from going to see Phil Collins, of which he has no intrest in, but only took me because he knows I love the man. Christopher actually had a wonderful time himself, and that made the evening wonderful. Christopher really loves the drums, and thank goodness Phil sucked him deep into the concert from the opening act. That was one hell of a drum solo if I do say so myself, and I actually could careless about drums. "In the Air" was amazing, and out done from the last time I saw him do it.
I had made plans for the kids to be gone all night, but with Brandie's lack of concern for my plans, I had to keep the kids at my house tonight. She had some nerve having the baby before I planned on her having the kid. No really it was fine, but I'd have loved to have slept over at Christopher's tonight. We got home snuggled and smooched a bit, and I had to leave. I think with the pressure off of him to warm up to the kids he is more able to open up to me. In reality this is the better way to go. We both agree that we need to go to counseling as this is an issue that will need to be addressed in the future.
So that is that, and I really should be in bed, but I am not sleepy, as I have slept all freaking day! Thank goodness I have Monday and Tuesday off with no where to take the kiddo's. YAY for teacher inservice the day after a holiday!
