Not me! Monday..

Thanks to a fellow heart mom, who's writing is very much my style and I enjoy reflecting upon her witty posts... I am adopting the "Not Me! Monday" post. In this clever approach to appear wonderful and admirable, I will share the things that I would never think of doing, but DID do none the less- sometimes shamefully, sometimes with pride. Today's "Not Me! Monday" takes place at the hosptial of course.

I did NOT wake up this morning at 2:30am to the nurse "asking" me if I wanted to give my comfortably sleeping child some medicine...just to have her shut the door and wake him up. I did NOT look at Jack's face around 7am and realize it looks puffy. Then I did NOT look at his chest tube to find new drainage after his tube has been dry for over a day. I did NOT complain when the flabotomist couldn't get a vein to draw Jack's blood from and had to call someone else to come give it a try. Then I of course did NOT ask the nice elderly nurse we have today to LEAVE THE ROOM while I gave Jack his med's because she was distracting and her method of saying "Buzz Lightyear says to drink up all your medicine" wasn't exactly working...

Then I did NOT wander around the surgical floor looking for the resident to tell him about the new fluid, and really- I did NOT grab Dr. Kaza, one of the cardiothorasic surgeons and pull him into my room to show him this mysterious fluid and try and get some answers. Then I did NOT tell Jack that "room service is closed today" because he is NPO till his cath at 1:30 and can't eat anything till then...

That's my Not me, Monday. And it's only 9:30am, folks.
