Santa Baby

We had our 18 month appointment on Monday. We are done with shots now until Kindergarten. WHOO HOO> LUlu is a little over 25 pounds and is 32 inches tall. She is only in the 70% range now. SHE used to be like 90 to 98%. WE went to see Santa with the BM also. At first she cried but then she was quiet. She threw her first big fit, just as the BM was coming to see her. She was laying on the the floor in the mall just howling. Not sure what she was upset about.

We finished our shopping, and had a nice visit with the BM and her foster mom. We played again at the Gateway Mall. It was getting late, so we drove through McDonalds and headed for home.

We are bracing for a nasty storm. We are both on call, and I don't work tomorrow. DOn't know if my mom and dad will be able to come. Not worth the risk. We will batten down and cozy up. Be safe if you are traveling. Happy night before Christmas eve.

From Flood to Blizzard

Well the blizzard has started.

Last night we had an ambulance run, and sent 1 paramedic across the flooded road on 83 with the National Guard truck to ride with Strasburg 1st Responders to meet with Cambell County Ambulance to take the guy to Mobridge. Then Nolan went around the flooded area to get the paramedic back home. He has been out until 2 or 3 in the morning with either the fire dept., or the ambulance.

Our clinic manager has been battling the flood since Sunday, trying to save her basement, but she gave up the fight today. She is now staying in our asst. living. There are so many people who's homes are a total loss, who work at the hospital. it is all too sad. She has no other shoes besides the boots she has been wearing since Sunday.

Nolan was on TV last night as he was taking a patient who had just been rescued by boat off of his farm. He had to watch his cows drown. It is all too sad. there will be lots more issues as people can get into their homes and start to clean up. That is furthest from anyones minds now, as the snow whips outside the window and you can't see across the street.

Mike K. (jobby) lived 40 years on old town, and he never had his basement flooded. Now it is filled with water and he is staying at the hospital as he is recovering from surgery. We also have 2 other families staying in empty rooms. They came with only the clothes on their backs.

The pics i am posting can all be seen on my facebook also. Too many to do on here.
