Memorial Day-Nurse with Green Beret Son

IV's all Hung from their Tree with Care in hopes that Dear Debs would soon be there!

Donna Assists Deb
This morning Deb was assigned to nurse Donna. After our initial in-processing of vitals, we went back to her cluster of four chairs. She had already acquired the first IV's for Deb and had them hung and ready to go which greatly speeds up our day.  We would have been out very early except Deb needed a unit of blood which took a long time due to the matching required.

Deb was the last patient Donna was seeing before a three month sabbatical. Her son is a Green Beret who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is now back and she is going to spend the time helping him with some issues.

Donna is also a new puppy grandmother. She has a Bichon female dog who went into heat. She put her in a bedroom with a child's safety gate to keep her in. Meanwhile, a male Jack Russel down the street detected her Bichon, dug under her 8' fence, found the dogie door on the back door, came in the house,  jumped  over the child's safety gate, and mated with her Bichon. The resulting litter is so cute that all are taken by other nurses on the staff here. Can you see why?

Deb wanted a milk shake for lunch to cool her throat, so that's what she got!

Hope you had a wonderful family time today!

The next four days for us are 7:30am show times at the chemo clinic. It is our opinion that the lesions are smaller, but we await hearing that news from the doc with eagerness! If true, you may hear our shouts of joy even from this great distance!
