The rest of the update....
Sat 7/5: My sister Annie and her boy spent the night at our place after the July 4 festivities. Then, that morning, we headed to Anna to hang out with Rob, Siouxsie, and Kyr. It was awfully fun to watch Rob on the floor playing with Lex and all the Star Wars figures. So cute! We spent a good part of the afternoon there, then headed back to my house, and then Annie and Lex went home.
Sun 7/6: Sunday was a beautifully mellow day.
Mon 7/7: Monday morning had me back at work (of course). We had to do an orientation for the new psychiatric residents at the office, so not much work got done. We get new psychiatrists and psychology interns every year, so this time of year is actually pretty busy for me, as I have lot of paperwork to do. Whee!
Tue 7/8: Nothing special, just work.
Wed 7/9: Wednesday morning was exciting. It's my "late" day for the next two months - I go in at 10:30 and stay until 7:30. This Wednesday was different, though. We got a call around 8AM from the hospital. Matt's mom had been the admitted night before. Diagnosis: pancreatitis. We both called in to our respective jobs, and headed to the Bowie hospital to see what needed to be done.
Luckily pancreatitis isn't life threatening. It's just really uncomfortable. The person with it has to do a true fast (no water, no food) for several days while their pancreas recovers. Clearly they have to stay in the hospital, since the only sustenance they can have is delivered through the IV. Bleh. Matt's mother didn't understand what they were telling her so Matt showing up and explaining things after talking to the nurse really helped calm her down. The doctor is still looking into the cause, though.
Thu 7/10: After work we went to Bowie again, and got home late, late.
Fri 7/11: D&D tonight, Matt's game. Whee!
