Providence Story of the Day

We ran out of the most important product for Bella's wound care yesterday. No problem; box loads of products were en route and would be here today. However, on Thursday the home health nurse says she can only come at 9am...products won't be there by 9 am. I'm gonna have to use a different dressing...something less than what the wounds need right now.

9:05 am: The nursing manager calls to say the nurse called in sick with the flu.

Products show up at 10:30.

We head over to CHOC for Lactation Clinic, come home, and home health leaves a message: no coverage. (By the way, they already said no coverage over the weekend, too. So much for the 7 consecutive days of nurses the CHOC Case Manager promised me)

1 hour later, Becky ,my next door neighbor the nursing administrator indicates not only will she come Sat Sun, but tonight as well.

8pm: We dress Bella's wounds in 90 minutes listening to relaxing classical music, and use the RIGHT dressings for Bella's left leg with the RIGHT amount of people.

Bella slept well last night and today, crashing from her two day long scream fest. The Isomil formula supplementing the breast milk seems to be working.

While her fake looks a bit worse for wear today, ALL of Bella's wounds look better than yesterday.

I need to sleep now.
