So, finally Nick and I had a chance to see and talk to each other over the webcam today. He is still sitting in Qatar and most likely will be for 3-ish more days. He got to send me some pictures too. All pictures from his training in WI. The picture of him with a bloody arm is during his IV training. Its actually funny that it just so happened that his 'buddy' was the guy that couldn't get it right. Just like his last training before his last deployment. How come MY husband is always the one 'stuck' (no pun intended..lol) with these guys? At least he puts on a brave silly face I suppose and takes it without making the other guy feel like an idiot. I sure hope this other guy never has to come to the aid of someone.




I never did make my chocolate chip cookies. I ate one of my waffles this morning with blueberry syrup then because Kayla was fussy I did what I knew she would laugh at. I sat on the computer desk chair holding her tight and I spun us in the chair. The pain of teeth coming in was forgotten and she laughed. But then I felt like I was going to get sick. I felt my waffle so close to coming up and from then on I couldn't take the thought of coming near anything sweet.
So instead I wisked Kayla off into the car and to the Sunday market we went. I got her 3 dresses for only $10! My intention was to keep them for her very first Easter basket, but I'm not sure I can resist those pretty dresses until then.
Glad things seem to be going OK. Nick looks good at least. Here is to an uneventful deployment for Nick!
ReplyDeleteNick looks like he is doing good! Lets see some pictures of those dresses! :)
ReplyDeleteI saw that pic with all the blood and thought he had an injury or something.
ReplyDeleteI am one of those that has relatively good veins and will let students etc practice starting IVs on me. The last time she put her finger over the end of the catheter to keep me from bleeding all over. It backed up and I ended up with a HUGE swollen bruise on my hand. Oops.
Thanks for sharing the pics!! Nick looks like he's doing great! I would not want people practicing doing IVs on me. That looks painful with all the blood.
ReplyDeleteOuch Nick's arm looks painful!!!! I hope that guy gets better at that :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see those dresses!
