You might think I'm computer savvy

So I've had a few people say I should start blogging. Probably because I'm sooo good at communicating in other ways. HA HA HA.
This has been a heck of a week. Monday Julianne's teacher called me and said Julianne had hit a boy in her class. Turns out the boy forgot where his desk was and started getting into hers. She says she thought he was being a snoop and she was tired, so without thinking she swung her back pack at his head. Not good. Even worse she was carrying around a good sized rock in her bag. Still worse, she made the boy cry. And to top off Monday, she didn't forewarn me. So now her bed time is 7:30. No more tired in the AM and mom, the night owl, has more time to do whatever.
Tuesday Noelle had another CF visit. I totally hate taking her in but today's visit was tough. She is gaining weight at the rate of 11 grams per day, up from 4, two weeks ago, yeah. Of course two weeks ago she was sick and now she is doing quite well. The doctor came in, did the assessment said she looks good but needs to be gaining like 20-25 grams per day. They want to put in a feeding tube. I held it together in the office but I'm crying now. This means surgery for her and she is 9 months old and she'll have to be a patient in the hospital which sucks. I work in a very good hospital and I know that hospitals are terrible places for patients. The dietitian said we can give her two more weeks on her own but if she doesn't pick it up we're going to see a pediatric GI surgeon.
This morning Nate left for Washington State, and I have to say, I'm more envious of this trip than any other business trip he has taken. We've long been fantasizing over a move to Washington or Colorado. He says it's beautiful but cold.
