I realize it has been awhile since I blogged. I also have realized that maybe there are some unanswered questions to things I have recently blogged about. So here is a little update.
1. Samuel has completed all his respiratory testing and followed up the pulmonologist. All the testing has come back normal, so for now we are calling it Asthma or Wheezing associated respiratory illness depending on who you talk too. He is on a daily nebulizer in the morning and handling that quite well. We are thankful that he has made it through this period and now appears back to his happy, busy self. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers during this time.
2. The nurses did vote to authorize a ONE DAY strike. A lot of details are still unknown. We don't know when it will occur and there is talk the hospital could "lock us out." for another 5-7 days. I think we are all just hoping that this vote will draw the 2 sides back to the bargaining table to talk and get us a fair, competitive contract. We are still waiting for the day this can be over. The plus side is that if I can work one day in the month (I"m scheduled June 2) my insurance is covered for the month. That would be a huge answer to prayer!!!
I know some may not agree with unions (I'm not a big fan myself sometimes), but I do hope that this can get resolved and working relationships can improve. It does leave one to wonder about their choice of career somedays! Thanks too for your prayers in this.
