A Phone Conversation and A New Nurse

Today in the car, Sadie brought along her toy cell phone.  The conversation went something like this:
To Andrew:  "Shhhh.  Andrew, I'm on the phone."
To the pretend person on the phone:  "No, we're not going to the park because my numbers aren't up.  Ummm.  We're not going to Adele's house.  We're going to... 'where we going mom?'"

Also this morning, Sadie had labs drawn.  A nurse comes to our house once or twice a week to draw labs.  Right now we are adjusting to a new nurse. This is the fourth nurse we've had since we moved.  Blah.  We loved Marcy, our last nurse, (or "Nursey" as Sadie calls her.)  I'm sure we'll love Penny too after a while, but I really do hate changing nurses.  It takes a while to get used to each other.  I always feel the pressure of being Sadie's voice.  Telling them don't do that, reminding them to wash their hands and don't touch that stuff without your gloves on.  Eeek.  You'd think all this would come natural to them, but I guess not all nurses are used to neutropenia.  I'm so used to the hospital nurses who are ultra sterile so I expect the same from our in-home nurses.  Sigh.  Eventually we'll get used to each other.  Anyway, this morning this new nurse missed Sadie's port.  Of course it hurt Sadie and then because in the process and fluster of it all, things became unsterile so she had to do everything over again.  It's not the first time this has happened, but it's always a little tramatic for Sadie...and me....and the nurse.  I do like Penny, it just takes time to learn each other's ways.

On a happier note...we took Sadie to the park a while back to snap some photos.  Isn't she a doll?
