Tuesday

Joe just left for 4 weeks. That is a huge bummer. The boys cried when they found out. I reminded them that he will be back before they know it. A small white lie. They love their Daddy!

So both boys got haircuts which makes a huge difference in their appearance although Joe and I disagree on the best cut for Talan's hair. The big BIG news is that Mason can ride a bike without training wheels. He is so happy and excited. Joe and I have both taken him on bike rides. It is so fun to be able to go far with him on the bike! Talan loves to ride his bike especially now that we put new training wheels on his bike. His old training wheels got run over. :(

I have my first real clinical this Thursday. I have been assigned one patient. I hope that I do a good job with vitals, assessment etc. It is nerve wracking but this is how we learn best, under pressure and in a real life situation. I am doing quite a bit of research online about paraplegia and spinal shock so that I have a clue what I am walking into on Thursday. Wish me luck!
