Busy Busy week

Since the only time I have to write anything down is in the morning, I'm here now with an update for this week.

First, my co-worker annual Christmas Tea was on Monday. It is a group of us (about 14) that used to work together in 1993. We started having an English Tea during December and this year was our 15th year. None of us still work together... most are managers somewhere, some are directors, others are IT nurses working on the computer system for out hospital. But we all manage to make it on this special day. I'll post more about it later, when I get the pictures out of the camera.

Tonight, Bryan and I are meeting some people at the Hard Rock for dinner and Jeff Dunham. I think that's his name. He is the comedian with the puppets. I don't even get home from work (after picking up kids) until 5:15pm. We are meeting them for dinner at 6pm. Somewhere in there I have to drop Meredith off at a friends house so the friend can take her to her soccer game. Wade and Paige won't even see us at all today...sad.

Biggest news... one of my neighborhood kids was hospitalized yesterday and they think she has leukemia. Talk about rocking our world.

This family has two girls ages - 5 and 9.


Now, it is the younger one who is sick. She has been very tired lately, and they took her to the doctor on Monday - bloodwork. Went back on Tuesday - more bloodwork and stright to the hospital.

I hear that they were told the child will remain in the hospital for 10 days. Possibly getting chemo.

The parents don't have any medical backround and I'm sure are in shock. Sometimes it is best to not have medical knowledge. Their daughter has a 15% chance that she won't live to see 10 years old.

I'm hoping that the news out today is different, but if it is leukemia - it'll be a really bad month.

I'm going to speak with my other neighbors about completing their Christmas shopping for them. Take that weight off their shoulders, maybe.

The whole thing is sad.
