"Mom, I'm going to lay in bed while you go 'to school.' Isn't it usually the other way around?!"
I didn't knock him upside the head, but I thought about it. Cheeky little devil!
Today was the practice test of the course. Tomorrow is the final test- administered at 10:00am! When I finish and get my final grade...we get to come HOME!!!
So, like a perfect student, I asked a million questions, performed my roll-play with confidence because I knew I was going to rock it, and left them with no doubt that I was going to kill it!
As soon as they left today, I read the entire packet of information they gave me, and then wrote myself step-by-step instructions, leaving nothing out no matter how self-explanatory it seemed. I was meticulous to the extreme, but it is very serious business working with a catheter that leads straight to his heart. I don't want to do a single step less than 110%.
The nurse will come tomorrow to go over the logistics of everything with me one more time. Then my final test will begin. I will execute the tasks that will be my most important job for the next three weeks, at least, by hooking Caden up to the TPN (IV nutrition) that we will have as we are discharged from the hospital as soon as I am finished.
Peeps, I am ready! I know this inside and out. I would do anything if it meant we got to be home. Well, not blood and needles, but I would find someone that would do it for me, if needed. But it's not, so let's do this! Bring on the final challenge!!!
