Our first day of Respite Care
So today was our first day having a nurse here to help take care of Jonah. We'll call her Claire. Claire arrived at 8 and we got right to work showing her where to locate all the necessary equipment we use each day. I spent the majority of the day telling Claire about Jonah's history and current medical conditions and the medications he is on and why. It was a chance to brush up on my medical jargon. Claire seemed to be pleased with all the organization and the activity list I had prepared. For the most part I just had Claire observe while Jonah and I carried out our normal activities. Mommy enjoyed having someone to chat with and Jonah seemed unaffected having a stranger in the house. Toward the end of Claire's shift Dave called. It was so nice to chat with Dave uninterrupted, that's because Claire jumped right in to help. I'm feeling very spoiled.
