See Ya!

Just letting y'all know that in the morning I am leaving town for a few days! I, along with my Dad, step-mom Laura, and siblings Brent and Brianna are going to Virginia for a family wedding. Our cousin Mark and his girlfriend Elaine are tying the knot and we are going to be there for it.
I am so excited to go! I haven't been to VA to see my family since my grandfather died in 1996. I went there in 1999 for my friend Nicki's first wedding. It has been too long since I was down there. :) I can't wait! It is so beautiful and peaceful, very different from this place. I am sure I will not want to come home and will kick and scream all the way back up!
We leave Novi as soon as we can after I leave work, and then will slowly make our way down south. We will be staying the night in a hotel in southern Ohio Thursday night and then ge to VA Friday morning and stay until Sunday morning. Then Sunday morning we will do the same thing back up. I personally would rather drive all day and get to VA on Thursday and then leave Sunday afternoon, but hey-- it's a free trip so who the hell am I to complain?? The parents are picking up the whole bill, even the hotel. Hot DAMN! I am not sure why they want to do it that way but me being the broke ass that I am, I am NOT going to complain! :)
So I am at work and having a somewhat slow night in ther stable vent unit, where the kids with trachs on ventilators are. It is nice, for the most part the babies are sleeping. It has been a frustrating night though, I have had a patient with frightening symptoms and the doctors are not concerned. I am! This is the way I look at it, if this were MY child, what would I want them to do? Well we just had some tests ordered for the morning... so that eases my mind a little. I had the PICU nurses look at the patient too, so I feel a little better. I am a worrier for sure, so at times I wonder if maybe I am making a bigger deal of things than I should. But then I remember this is their lives I am dealing with, and I don't feel so bad for being a worrier.
OK, enough talking about crap that people probably do not care about unless they are nurses too! :)
Don't expect me to write for a while. YAY!
