Friday, bring me the babas! (gramas)






Well here we are at the end of our first week. Wow what a week it has been! I have been working in one of two clinic rooms. My co nurse is Colleen who loves maternity. Needless to say, this homecare nurse points all the pregnant women to her stretcher. I told Sharon, “Bring me all the old people” and they have truly been a blessing. I am afraid though that many many more should be seen, but because they have to walk a km or more to the clinic, this does not happen. They are so grateful for anything we can give them, whether it be a pair of sunglasses and tears for their irritated eyes, some Tylenol or tums and a hug and prayer goodbye. I have been stretched seeing pediatrics again as I plot growth charts and try to figure out the cause of cough after cough after cough. (Guess what I developed last night?) Oh well, I can always ask to see a doctor as I have one as a bunk buddy. Tomorrow is beach day…Yippie! Rita from work, if you are reading this, I will never complain about a day being too busy at the health unit again! Carlene

    Dear Mamma,
    I want to let you know that I am so proud to have you as a gramma. You are a good example for me and I hope one day that I can be just like you! Have fun on the rest of your trip and I can't wait to hear your stories and tell you stories when you get home.
    Love Tobias
    PS mom and dad say hi

    it sounds like everyone is doing really good. It would be great if there was a way for everybody to have a chance to go to the clinic. I will be praying for everybody and that your cough gets better.

    MAMMA!

    Your trip sounds fun but I am ready for you to come home and play hockey with me! Bampa came over for supper and brought me a "nana" and it was my favorite. We try to phone you everytime he comes over. The last two times he came over I checked his pockets to see if he had more in there...but my mom says I can't have anymore (you know why!)

    Hunter and I are so happy that you can help other little boys and girls.

    We love you very much.
