an update!

Hey everyone!

I hope the weekend is coming to a nice close for you all :) I feel like the past few days have completely flown by.... probably because I was sleeping for most of it!  My first few days of work were great but extremely challenging.  While I have worked on an oncology unit before, the patients on this unit are quite a bit sicker than the other units.  I am also learning how to care for bone marrow transplant patients, which requires a whole new set of medications and care that is new to me.  The biggest challenge is becoming familiar with all the new policies, whereabouts of supplies, computer programs and general workings of the unit.  I am learning so much but I really learn from not knowing...its definitely a humbling experience.

I was able to relax this weekend; last night I went out to dinner with my cousin Jake and a family friend from Maddens, we had a great time catching up and laughing a lot together.  Today I am going to a memorial service for my cousin's grandfather who passed away this past week.  It will be nice to spend some meaningful time with family.

Well this is a short post but I'll have much more updates later! Oh and a little explanation of the pictures...above is the view from a restaurant Braydon and I went to when he came to visit and below is a picture of NYU medical center.

Love and God's peace to all!
