Oh yeah... She kinda walks if I support her torso, too.

Maddy is CRAWLING!!!!!

So much scene stuff over the weekend for Si Muove. whee. On Saturday, we got Vicky and Vera to babysit so that Jay and I could watch Transformers 2 at the theater. i loved it. i thought the twins wer as much a Dumb Southerner stereotype as the ghetto one, and the stupidity was a little distracting. Seeing Josh Duhamel, I kept thinking his name was Adrian. lol. I blame Si Muove. :)

we didn't get lunch so that we wouldn't overstay Maddy's welcome, but they had a fabulous time. Maddy did, too. She's been crawling about four "steps" maximum and with support ans been making steps. i'm not sure if it counts as cruising but she is definitely getting better at this mobility thing, especially when she notices i'm not there. or playing WOW. just sayin. :)

I got a chance to play a lot of WOW this weekend, while we're on that topic. I wound up creating two new toons to play with mynuet, too. So I have Aeslinn at 63 (almost 64), Winterleaf at 7 (I think), the new Draenei character I can't remember her name at level 5 and Valeini, a Blood Elf Warlock at 7. I would've done another mage, but Jay started saying that I have to try something different and not do the same class all the time. So I went warlock. I was planning to go back on to play in the evening after Maddy went to bed and maybe take Aeslin to ding 64. After dinner, tho, Jay was in the mood for movie and ice cream. So he picked up some ice cream while I bathed Maddy and put her to bed, then we rented "Push" on demand. I thought the movie was pretty cool, and that Cassie was a lot like his old Shadowrun character in how her personality and dressing style was. As if I didn't miss Shadowrun enough already, right? We've decided that at some point, the movie is a keeper.

Katya's birthday dinner is tonight. Luckily the restaurant is in the same town as my inlaws, as dinner will start at her bedtime. I don't think they'd want to see cranky!Maddy tonight, and I'd rather she get the rest she needs.

tried to be good and do work for the office as well as the mental status exam due tomorrow that I couldn't be bothered to do over the weekend. (dinged 63, tho) I started with one treatment plan due next week and was starting on another one due the week after that. I completely avoided the MSE until Katya mentioned it, and I completely didn't even look at the private patient I'm going to be picking up Wednesday.

There's tomorrow, I suppose. But I didn't get a chance to finish it. I think I did half of the tasks I set for myself today. I severely underestimated the amount of time it would take me to do the MSE. :(

well, Jay saw a sign for a TEA party not that far from where we live, and I wound up googling the park to catch what time it was. So we went to the TEA party, signed some petitions and hung out for a bit. One lady asked if Maddy could hold her sign and she could take a picture; Jay figures it'll prolly be up on a website at some point. lol. When Maddy started looking pretty tan and getting cranky, it was time to get outta there. She was dirty and hungry, so we remedied both when we got home and let her take a nap for a bit. She hasn't really slept, tho. Indy had a great time at the park seeing people, but it was too hot for him, too.

I'd be all over WOW like Jay is all over SWG right now, but Maddy is up and about in the living room, and not too happy when I leave her alone for too long. I'll have to log in tonight after she gets to bed. Maybe I'll actually do homework while she's calm and letting me stay on the computer next to her. :)

In any case, have a happy July 4 everyone!

Wednesday was her 9 month peds visit. Maddy is 27.75 inches tall (75%) and 21 lbs 2 oz (90%). She's a happy and healthy baby, meeting all milestones on time and is officially cute. lol. We need to feed her more table foods, but honestly, we're in no rush about that.

( Now, on to the picspam! )

Good BBQ w/friends. I keep forgetting to write re:Maddy's 9 mo appt and picspamming all of you. She's such a good baby!

officially a second year fellow. go me. :)

yesterday was all kinds of busy, with two discharges, a potential consult, greeting newbies, saying goodbye and whatnot. today it was orienting all morning, helping lara settle in (my mommy vibes were strong) and patients. not quite a full day, but full enough that i forgot to pump at three as i usually do and so i'm not leaving early at all.

but that's okay... i'm taking Maddy straight to the pediatrician for her nine month visit. woo! i should try to update here and her picture site with pics and such today if i don't get back home too late. tho i still haven't yet tried wow... :)

i was offline most of the weekend. Saturday was my cousin's son's baptism. Her husband's Greek Orthodox, so that was really pretty to see. Everything in the restaurant started late. My mom and brother didn't show up for the ceremony because he was doing night float. Tho I can't remember if they go sunday to thursday like we do or monday through friday. Jay, Maddy and I were the only ones on my cousin's side of the family to show up. She kept trying to hold Maddy and take her to do stuff, leaving her son to her husband or other relatives to take care of. Normally, I wouldn't think too much of it, but I know for a fact that she doesn't care much about her son, only how much money her husband will give her. and my entire family when they showed up at the restaurant tried to steamroller me and ignore my directions about maddy. No, she doesn't eat bread. No, don't try to give it to her anyway. (I took it away, never fear.) And finally they went away to let her try to sleep in the carseat. Everything was so late at the restaurant that by 4 there was still no entree (and it started at 1) because there was only 2 servers for something like 50 ppl. We had to bounce, since we're an hour and a half away. and despite everything i said, my mom kept trying to delay us to take more pictures. it didn't help that I was boxed in the corner and couldn't stop her from physically barring my way. :(

sunday was better. Much Macross Frontier. :D I love this show. I looooooove this show. And I have a new graphics card, so WOW looks the way it should. :D Unfortunately (kinda) I have a slimline computer tower, so I couldn't get the uber card. wah. *snicker* I had to settle on something that could fit in the slimline case, but it's sill miles better than my old card. I plan on ficcing tonight, so I'll play tomorrow. :)

i forgot to post about this earlier. our clinic hours are being extended another hour. the front office, of course, will close at its usual 4:30-4:45. there won't be anyone around for that 5-6 hour but us and the patient, if they're scheduled.

Katya noticed this on our schedules beginning July 1, and it's a good thing she did. because NO ONE TOLD US. cue the work wank amongst ourselves, as well as some regarding the incoming fellow from outside our program that didn't see fit to let anyone know she was knocked up until she demanded the call schedule ahead of orientation and then complained that she couldn't do calls in December, as she's due in the beginning of the month. If we knew, we wouldn't have done it. whatever happened to common courtesy in letting your program know about these things so arrangements can be made and you don't lose training time?? ::facepalm::

but apparently it's not a hospital wide thing. just an attending thing, so that we're able to see all of our patients. but WHY NOT TELL US? give us warning, so we can make childcare arrangements? and it's not like anyone but the inpatient rotation fellow has an issue seeing all of their kids. our patient load isn't that heavy, considering what outpatient docs usually see. We have about 30 kids total, and see patients every afternoon. if prior fellows could do it, why now? i know some of my families have pitched hissy fits, but let's see: i had to cover BOTH second year fellows' patients (and the epic scheduling fail of seeing their THERAPY patients, no less) while on the inpatient rotation, and the fact that they originally only schedule two hours a week for the inpatient fellow. so i added a third day that promptly got booked up. and then last month they decided to tell me AFTER THE FACT that they changed my schedule so i see kids six hours a week, three to five, and oh, btw, you have a patient tomorrow at three you didn't know about.

courtesy. it starts at home.

and holy moly, the rain is POURING. this is a permanent temporary building (one of my walls is actually magnetic!) so we can hear the downpour and the thunder and lightning. creepy sounding. especially when you consider we briefly lost power again yesterday. O_O

oh, and in better work news? I got my official scripts. With my name and license number on it and everything. which means i have to memorize my own DEA number now. As I said snarkily when I got my license: "Oh joy, I can be sued now." :)

...and somehow I misstep, each time.

Last week was a scheduled admission. It was canceled partway through because the school district, who'd already dicked around this family in terms of services, was refusing to pay for more than five hours a week schooling, as the kid had been on home tutoring for the past seven months. Threats of an education lawyer magically made them agree to summer school on the unit. So we have the kid come back today, thinking it's going to be easier to do the admission since we have the story already. It's an ODD/ADHD/PDD kid, daily or near-daily tantrums involving physical aggression to parents, teachers, peers, threats to kill others or himself when frustrated. Old hat as far as inpatient psych is concerned, and not as bad as some kids we've had on the unit by any means. He was toned down somewhat with a different stimulant, but still fairly aggressive and difficult to manage.

Now he's denied by his insurance company. They cite that this is a chronic problem, that the family needs respite, that a partial hospitalization is less restrictive and it's not acute enough to warrant admission. The doc to doc to appeal the denial upheld that. And if we admit the kid anyway, the family gets stuck with the astronomical bill. Hospitals ain't cheap; I remember hearing that adult psych is $1200-1500 per day. More if it's ECT. I have no idea if child is comparable or if it would be more because of the school on the unit.

I recognized the asshat's voice on the doc to doc, too. He denied another kid I had as not meeting the acuity. You know why? Because he was on a medical floor next to babies and the team bent over backward to make sure he didn't have an aggressive outburst. And ultimately we had to treat him on a consultant's basis and discharge him to residential. I did the initial consult back in February, and that kid went to residential last week.

Fuckers. Managed care sucks balls.

Has anyone heard from Maile since the DC train accident??

Her cell phone is off, and I left a message at home as soon as I heard, but I still worry because I haven't heard anything. :(


ETA: And of course, soon after I hit post, Maile calls. THANK GOD.

Our prayers are out to whoever knows ppl in DC...
