Week 2- SaturdayWell, this week hasn't been as nearly as busy as last week.. in fact it was kind of slow. We spent all 5 days at the same hospital. Despite massive frustration all week, and a potentially explosive "meeting" with the Medical Director on Friday, we were able to have some good things happen to us. I think the only beneficial aspect of that hospital were the abilities to stand in on the surgery's. Otherwise our being there was utterly point...

End of Week 1- Thursday/Friday Ahh, Thursday. What a special day… Aside from my vomiting twice and almost fainting in surgery it was a GrEaT day (anyone sense sarcasm?).
