Day 733

Today we were on the Kiss 98.5 telethon for the hospital. They were raising money to get a navigation unit for ENT.

Here's a link to our video. http://bcove.me/6h190s24  Ava was fussing like a normal two year old and she didn't like all the noise when people clapped. When we left she kept signing "more" as if she didn't want to leave. She very much loves all the attention. Typical of the baby in the family. Whenever she sees someone clap she thinks it for her (probably because we cheer her on all the time at home).

Anthony has been away since Sunday and he won't be back until Friday night. Our nurse didn't even show up for work last night. I texted her at 11:45pm and she wrote back saying that she was at Buffalo General because her father had a heart attack. I have no idea how long she was there and didn't call in, but this is patient abandonment. I'm very sorry for her situation but every body needs to call into their jobs and say they can't come in. She could have had her family call our agency. Tonight will be the second night in a row without a nurse which means we cannot sleep.Thank goodness my parents have taken the kids overnight so I can sleep in the morning. We have had 5 nights of call-ins/no nursing in a 7 day period.

We went down on her Peep to 7 and we should be getting down to a PEEP of 4 or 5 depending on her lungs.

Thanking God for his grace and praying for more nurses...
