Dear Anna,
I don't know how I could EVER forget this but, it has to be in writing anyway:)
Today was your second day of PREP School. Fabulous school. We went for a treat after... A "white" sno cone (creamy coconut). When we got home, the tv was still on TLC, and "Trauma:Life in the ER" was still on. You love the "real" reality medical shows. None of that re-enactment business for us. We want the actual procedure, not some stand-in.
(side note: I'm always honestly descriptive in what's going on tv shows w you, to an extent of course. Which is why you know the word "crackhead" now. Geesh. The lady on tv was wigging out and you asked what was wrong so I told you. No big deal:) )
So, back to today...there was some gory (of course) procedure taking place. You asked me, "What's thaaat? What they doin Momma?". I had to watch for a moment to figure out that surgeons were putting screws and rods in a pt's back. So I told you just that. Your eyes still glued to the screen (which was now showing a post-procedure x-ray: metal rods and screws embedded in a spinal column)....you said, "Oh, you mean his SPINE.".
Genius. I've been beaming ever since.
Love,
Your incredibly proud, medical-field, gore-loving Momma
