Yep, I went back to San Jose at the end of December for another week of travel. This was a hard decision for us to make too since I had to miss the week of Christmas, but it was the better decision. Plus, the boys understood that we talked to Santa and that Santa was visiting all of the children of the nurses that had to go away and work on Saturday night instead of Thursday night that week. It wasn’t ideal but it worked out for the better. And to this day all the boys remember is that they had a GREAT Christmas!
I did enjoy my time though – visited Santana Row, shopped at a HUGE mall, bought some sexy-hot shoes, found my dream car, etc. But the best part of my trip was the little girl that I helped to take care of that week. She came in two nights before Christmas to the ICU and we intubated her almost immediately due to respiratory failure for RSV. Her family was so sweet and scared and we bonded instantly!! They said it was my accent that did it for them! LOL. Needless to stay, we have stayed in touch since I left and little Ali is doing great! I still get emails from them and I am still referred to as their “Favorite Country Nurse!” They also left me the sweetest gift in my bag that I found on the airplane on the way home. At least I got to play somewhat of a “Mom” role while I was gone over the holidays! Thanks to God for working that week out for us.
