Number 4 son, is in construction, works his butt off, still finding himself
They are all just awsome
Yes all boys, always boys for me!
My girls, if they wanted to try something we made it happen. They didn't have to stick with it but they were able to at least see if the could do it or not. Both single now and live on their own. They both do well on their jobs.
As a daughter that has never felt like she did anything right or were good enough, I'm in now very aware of not making my kids feel this way
She has resident who suffers from Dementia. The woman had her toes removed because of poor circulation. Every day my daughter goes in and bandages the wound. To do the surgery, stints had to put in the leg veins to open up circulation. The woman now has a heel wound that is not getting better so my daughter put in for the woman to see her surgeon to see if the stints collapsed. The son cancelled these appts 2x now. She saw him last week and explained to him why Mom needed to see the surgeon. He blew up at my daughter saying she was only a Nurse and knew nothing. She told him she had 10yrs of Woundcare experience and ran a unit at one time. He still berated her. This is a son that shows up every 2 months or so. My daughter had tests run and it was found she was right. She had the other son take a picture of the report and send it to his brother. The brother was back a few days later and apologized to my DD.
My daughter said this woman is a sweetie. But everyday DD goes into her room she has to re-introduce herself and tell her why she is there. The woman is surprised that she had her toes removed. DD takes the bandage off and the woman says "thats my foot, oh my" type thing. Everyday. DD was walking down the hall the other day and the woman said "your the one who does my foot" DD felt she had made some progress.
Another time a resident was coding. Nurses and doctors everywhere and my daughter on the phone with 911. A woman stood at the nurses station trying to get my daughters attention. DD put her finger up signing...just a moment. But the woman continued so DD put on the speaker so woman could hear that she was on with 911. When DD was done with the call she asked how she could help the woman. She said "My Mother needs a glass of water" Now, this mothers room was right across the hall from where all the stuff was going on and the daughter felt that was a good time to ask for a glass of water?
This woman felt seen and heard by your daughter’s thoughtfulness. How lovely!
It's amazes me that if we are have cloudy rainy days, and you start feeling blue, I grab the umbrella and the blues go away.
That would be an amazing volunteer program, there are people that go to facilities to read and volunteer there time. A group of volunteers just to take people for walks, could really make a difference in there lives
