Either Taylor gave it to me or I think this last week of craziness has finally caught up with me. I am officially sick with some sort of cold/flu. Therefore, I am powering through with this blog tonight. I really want to take some cold meds & close my eyes. I wrote that Taylor was sick early yesterday morning and I fully intended on writing more about my day last night but by the time I was able to get the kids to bed and finish some last minute clean up from the day my body and brain had had it…and I fell quickly asleep on the couch.
Yesterday, I spoke with the owner of the Home Health Care Services that provides Taylor’s PCA. If you recall, I had some huge challenges early in the week regarding the Home Health Care Services sending out random people to sit with Tay in my home without me being informed of it (to learn more, read posts from this last week). Well, the Owner…apologized and said it would never happen again. Hmmm, I am not sure that is good enough. How can I ensure that this type of thing will NEVER happen to my children or anyone else’s loved one again? I am still figuring that one out…so if you have any ideas please let me know. I know that some changes need to take place throughout their company, and I really would like to see action instead of hearing promises.
I received a call from Jorden’s Doctor’s Office (the Retina Specialist) informing me that his Doctor had filled out the Family Medical Leave paperwork I dropped by the day before. How is it that one Doctor is able to filled it out in less than 24 hours with no questions asked, no fee involved, he just does it….when another Doctor (Erin’s Neurologist) says that he will fill out the paperwork for a $75.00 fee? How is that feasible? When I walked in Jorden’s Doctor’s office yesterday I quickly expressed my gratitude and told them that I they had made our lives a little bit easier by simply filling out the paperwork without any questions or payment. You know what their response was? “Of course! That’s our job, to make sure the right thing is done for our patients.” There is hope blog followers!!! I knew it!
Last night, I took Jorden to the store to get a card and a gift for “his special Valentine”. Ahhhh, how sweet it was to watch him while he picked out just the right card for the girl whose won his heart (at least at this moment). He was very careful when choosing to make sure it wasn’t too mushy but it expressed that he really like her. He also used this same strategy in picking out her gift. He ended up choosing a box of chocolates. What girl doesn’t like chocolate? We came home and he planned out on a separate piece of paper what he was going to write and re-wrote it in the card…including his phone number. On my way home from work today, I called to let the kids know that I was going to an eye appointment and Jorden quickly got on the phone and said, “Mom, I gave her the Valentine.” I said, “Really, What did she say?” He said, ” I gave it to her right after the bell rang, and then I got on the bus…so I am not sure what she thought. We will see if she calls me.” The Mother in me came out and I proceeded to tell him that if she doesn’t call…not to worry. Her parents may not want her calling boys yet.
“Oh Please, Please, Please Jesus….Have her call! Have her call!” Hopefully, he doesn’t read this blog till he’s older.
To bed I head….
Until next time,
