Apparently I am on rapid blog mode. So lucky lucky you.

My summer has been interesting to say the least.

The stepchildren have come and gone. They, along with my own children, nearly killed me. It did however get easier and fun. I learn that lesson over and over each year.

I have had many births this summer. They have all been lovely. Some complications all within the range of normal until last week. I am currently dealing with a client that is suffering from postpartum psychosis. She is in the hospital on the psych ward. This is hard for me personally. I knew she was getting sick. I was not her primary caregiver though and the primary wouldn't listen to me. This is my rock and a hard place. I knew and couldn't or didn't help her. This is the beauty of working under another practioner. I need to give respect to that person and let them make the calls.
So to top it off I took last week off. No one bothered to inform me that this woman was in the hospital. I didn't know until I got an email and then someone told me at the fair. I should have been told. So why wasn't I? I think it was because I knew and had spoke up and was ignored.
So I have now by-passed the other provider. I went directly to the family and gave my most sincere apology for not acting. I explained to them the position I was in, am in.
I am now in very close contact with the family. I have found them all info that they are seeking. I am doing what any kind hearted human would do. I am just feeling a bit sad about the position I was in to not be able to help her and her family before.
So tomorrow I will have to talk to my boss. She is old school and I am scared. I have to tell her that she disrespected not only me, but the mother by ingnoring my words. I worry that the conversation will end badly.
Hopefully by putting it out there a bit in this here little safety net I may difuse my anxiety a bit.
I am a very good practioner and I am feeling very disappointed by this situation. Wish me luck.

Oh and the mama is improving.

I have gotten people to donate their breastmilk for the baby. We are also working on a goat milk formula.
This may sound weird to some of you, most probably. Obviously I'm a bit alterative. You should look at baby formula ingredient lists though. YUCK!!!!

Believe it or not even some of my friends on SG are helping with this one.
Thank You mj for helping me with the info in your area. You will never really know how much I appreciate it.
You are amazing.

The fair was fun and exhausting.

The hubby is out of town too. So I have been catching up with some friends. It has been so fun. I never really have the time to hang with friends and I have some awesome ones. Check out my punk rock girl Vivien's music on myspace.Chemically Restrained She is super cool. We hung out tonight and had a blast. She's abit of a noise maker.
