Well the schedule for work was short-lived because the rig ended up getting dropped. But that doesn't mean I won't have any work coming up I just don't know where it will be just yet.

It's hard to have both the work and family side of life being chaotic and the good news is that Luke has started getting a bit better with his fluid balance. It had gotten really bad and out of control during the week but on Friday he finally had a day where he was net negative. Thank goodness! I think it's been at least a month since that's happened.

This past week has been pretty crazy and I'm glad I haven't gone back to work yet. Each month we get a new doctor to be the attending, doctor in charge of Luke, and this past Monday they swapped again. Since we had a new doctor coming on we...

It's been a pretty great week. I've been off of work, a little bittersweet since no work means less income, but I'm so glad that I've been off. I got home a week ago Thursday and Luke was not doing all that well and was extremely swollen....
