don't let go

there was a physician who was a pain patient of mine - not a good combo. we weren't adding anything to his pain regimen, but ended up seeing him every single day while he was in the hospital to "hold his hand." that's all he wanted us to do.  

my mom, kaila, and i walked about 1/2 a mile to the park today.  although it took almost an hour with baby K taking her tiny steps (3 baby steps to 1 adult step - we counted), it was worth it.  this is how we walked most of the way - hand in hand in hand.

i know one day she will think it's icky to hold mommy's hand, but i honestly never want her to let go. mommies, please don't tell me this will happen soon!

on a side note, i am very nervous about starting

pediatric anesthesia on friday. teeny tiny neonates 

having surgery and me putting in miniscule 

breathing tubes in their throats is not something 

i look forward to.  on top of that, i will have to 

stand there and watch BIG surgeries on precious 

little people.  sigh... wish me luck.
