Halloween Fun!

We had a great Halloween this year. Colby chose to be Ironman and Chanley was a strawberry fairy. They were both absolutely adorable and had lots of fun. We started out the day having lunch with YaYa then we came home for naps so we could be recharged for that night. When Daddy got home we went to Kidz Fest at our church where the kids were able to jump in bounce houses, get their faces painted, and play games. Then it was off to get us some candy!! We didn't go to very many houses but we got more than enough candy! We ended the night with dinner at a mexican resturant down the street....and started the wee morning hours with violent vomiting!! Colby and I got super sick from the food!! Needless to say we won't be eating the dog food there again! Here are some pics from our fun day!

DAISY Award

Last Wednesday I went to work as usual thinkng it was going to be just another day in L&D. Little did I know it would be one of the most exciting days of my life. I was awarded the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses! A former patient that I had taken care of wrote a letter and nominated me for the award. My nomination was choosen from several that were sent in for the month. Tears of joy fell down my face as they read the letter from the T family. I could remember them as if I had taken care of them only yesterday. My patient wrote the sweetest things about my care for her and stated that I had saved her baby's life. This hit me so hard knowing that I have such a huge impact on the patients that I care for everyday. That night I did nothing special other than just doing my job and what I feel I was called to do. I am so deeply appreciative of having the opportunity to do what I love and to get this type of feedback melts my heart. Thank you again T family for nominating me for this award. It means more to me than you will ever know! Here is a slideshow of the presentation.
