All Wet!!!
Urgh!
That's all I can say! Last night was out monthly association meeting and was my official 6mth probation since my return to the Fire Department. The meeting had gone well up to the end where someone made the comment that "someone's initiation" was due.
Well, I can't say that they didn't warn me. I ended up hoisted in our hose dryer & soaking wet! They had hosed me down - I guess the 2nd time around really is worst then the first!
There were pictures taken, so I'll post when I can get my fingers on them.
'til next time!!

No Go
Well, I finally got some answers regarding Toronto.
We've talked to our Pediatrician, Physio and a couple more people, including the Physiotherapist at the Clinic & they basically all said the same thing - there's nothing that can be done until Olivia is at least 6mths or older.
So, basically, we are going to let nature take it's course & see what happens with her arm from there.
On a sadder note, we found out yesterday that my grand mother's cancer has spread pretty much everywhere in her body. So, the docs are only giving her 5 weeks to live.
Not sure what to think or anything like that, but I guess it's just like anything else, we live our lives to the fullest & when it's time to go, it's time.
I think what's been the hardest is the fact that she's been sick for the last number of years with Cancer. She now has bone cancer & this will be it. My aunt is down from Belleville Ontario to spend time with her & mom has also taken time off work to be with her.
On another topic, did you hear that Anna Nicole Smith has passed away. She was found unresponsive in her hotel room.... Wonder if it was caused by the stress of her son's death. She's also leaving her new born daughter behind.... that's sad!
Now, talking about sad, last sunday Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service lost 2 Captains in a tragic house fire. They have set up an online book of condolences. If you have a chance, please make sure that you sign the book.
Well that's pretty much it for now!

Febuary, Seriously!
Holy crap it's cold outside!
I guess that's what you get for Winter.... LOL, especially in the Atlantic.... But you know what, we can't really use that as an excuse anymore. We've had really weird weather, but so has everyone else!
Enough about the weather! I talk enough about it at work - you know the small talk during the introductions while your waiting for the file to come up! Urgh! I hate awkward moments!!!
So, we got a call from the Toronto Sick Kids Hospital. The lady who set up the appointment didn't really seem to know what was going on. It almost sounds like we have to go up for a 1hr appointment; however, we aren't prepared to spend airline tickets, taxi fees and anything else that comes with a trip to Toronto for a 1hr appointment.
We asked our Physiotherapist here at the Moncton Hospital to get more information for us. So we are basically waiting to hear from her.
It's not that I don't want to go up, it's just that I want to minimize the travelling as much as I can. We have to ensure that we can afford it all and not end up on the sidewalk.
Olivia went for her 2mth needles yesterday. It went pretty well. She cried, but in Allison's arms, she calmed down pretty quickly. The only thing is that she didn't sleep at all last night. Allison said that she was up until 4am. I only climbed into bed at 3am....
We also forgot to take Olivia's 2mth pictures on Sunday. It was crazy!!!! We sort of have an excuse though - Allison's computer's hard drive crashed & we've spent the last couple of days recovering everything. What a mess.
Well, I guess I should get back to work! I've got to travel to Bouctouche & meet with a couple of clients there....
'til next time!
