Yep, I'm doing my best to take care of myself, help my daughter, help my grandson etc etc. I'm doing okay though really.
We were upset yesterday that my daughter didn't get a phone call that his off unit had been rescinded. But in thinking about this further I had to be realistic. Here they have a unit of many sick kids from age 5 up to 17. Issues are popping up all the time and in the grand scheme of things, making a phone call was probably pretty low on their priority list. I can understand that!
My daughter was pretty nasty to one of the staff on the unit when he told her the plans were changed. She really embarrassed me and then pretty much demanded that I go talk with them to ask them to bend the rules. I felt like a schmuck doing it, and in talking with the worker she insulted and another one on the unit, they were so pleasant and sympathetic to our situation, but dang it, rules are rules. Grandson and mother need to follow the rules like them or not! And I wonder sometimes where grandson gets his crappy attitude from. *sigh* I can say that I won't be pushed into trying to get anyone to bend the rules again....it was not appropriate and I knew it. I just wanted to apologize to the worker for daughters behavior and to let them know that even though we were disappointed, we understood. He was very gracious.
And the saga shall continue.................................................
