Swine flu and ear infections= not fun times!

Well Chad had his stage II check ride this week which he has to do more again tomorrow. The flight was already 2hrs long and the instructor didn't have the time to complete the check off. So back up he goes tomorrow to do some "holding." All I know is that he has to use his instruments to stay on some heading based off of some sort of signal or something like that. It's all bluring together for me.

Work has been going well, I am buliding up more confidence with the level I'm at now and soon, as fall and flu season hits I'm sure I'll be taking care of much sicker kids. Believe it or not all the hub bub about swine flu (H1N1) might pan out to be true. We actually have 1 kid on Ecmo right now (which is similar to heart lung bipass machine), who was previous very healthy and another baby on all kids of support, both who have swine flu. We have had a few deaths and one girl recover from it but she was on the ventilator for a few weeks. Crazy eh? We are gearing up for the battle! I am not sure how I feel about getting the vaccine since it is so new but they are wanting it to be manditory for us. That will be 3 different shots for this fall, I thought I finished with that after elementary school. OH, I guess they are playing with the idea of admitting pregnant women who need ecmo since no adult hospital offers it ...NUTS!! Needless to say I enjoy my job, but still detest nights.

Chad and I are going camping this weekend with some friends because we are stupid and insane to camp in the predicted rain. We will see how that goes, maybe it won't rain after all (hahaha!!!)

On the Lincoln front he has an ear infection. Which is probably my fault from not cleaning his ears often enough after going swimming in the sound. He HATES having his ears cleaned. As soon as he sees me with a cotten ball he runs and hides, he is a fighther. So now he has to go through the routine twice a day, cleaning followed up with ear drops. Poor pup is gonna hate me by the end of two weeks.

There are no new pictures to post for you, but soon there will be!
