So far, so good. No-one has vomited or developed the runs. Elli did come down with a new cold, so she had to stay home from school yet another day. Between Thanksgiving break and being sick, she'll been to school 3 days in the last 2 weeks.
I got to go in to work this afternoon for a few hours. It was one of the first days in awhile that I've really looked forward to going in. It's been a long week and I enjoyed being the expert on family-centered care, not the jungle-gym tissue-wielding vomit-cleaning housemaid chef entertainment coordinator for a few hours.
It was also great to return home to cheers of "Mommy!" and ketchupy hugs.
I learned that my boss, who has been at the hospital for 18 years, is resigning in 7 weeks. Her husband is a doctor and took a position in Texas. Four years ago. They've been in a "commuter marriage" for 4 years. I just can't even imagine how that works. While I'll miss her knowledge of the hospital and everyone there, it's long past time she moved back with her husband. I hate being apart from Scott for a few days! They see each once a month or so! It boggles my mind.
