Aunt Leah's Coming

Susanne was informed before arriving at work today that Moppy and Paxton would be in the manager's office again instead of being able to use the nursery. Susanne thought that this was a temporary set up, but quickly realized that that was not the case. There had been some discussion on what they could do to rearrange her office to make it more comfortable and maximize space. Susanne raised the concern that she was offered the use of the nursery prior to Paxton's arrival and she would like to be able to utilize that space. She was also concerned that the manager had way more traffic going in and out of her office compared to the nursery, which would decrease the risk of Paxton getting sick. Also, the nursery had a refrigerator in it which was much needed for Paxton's medicines, milk, and enteral pump delivery set. After much discussion, Susanne made it known that she would be using the nursery in the weeks to follow.

Moppy felt like Paxton had a difficult day. He seemed a little more irritable than normal and he did not sleep well. The office space they were using was small which made it hard to move around in. Paxton was confined to his pack 'n' play due to the circumstances, which caused him to be restless. The room tended to get overheated, which made it all the more uncomfortable. It was a huge relief to know that this was the last time they would have to use that office. The most frustrating thing that Moppy discovered throughout the day was that when she went into the nursery to use the refrigerator, there was not anyone in there the entire day. This would have been nice to know.

Overall, Susanne had a good day at work. She had thus far enjoyed getting back into the swing of things. She loved being a veterinarian and getting to see some of her long-term clients.

Maverick had come to work with them this morning because he was on a medication that caused him to drink more and urinate more. Susanne hated the thought of him being at home all day with no one to let him out. He was always such a good boy and he easily adjusted to the new scenery. It didn't hurt either that one of his favorite things in the whole world was car rides.

Susanne got finished later than expected. This was frustrating because Susanne's oldest sister, Leah, had arrived into town this evening. Susanne got very angry with the amount of time that it took them to break everything down and to pack everything up. The time that Susanne had been finishing since starting back at work just so happened to be the time that she needed to pump again and set up Paxton for his next NG feeding. It had been averaging about an hour from the time that Susanne finished work to the time that they were on the road.

Finally, they were out of there. Susanne was so excited to see her sister. This would be the first time that Aunt Leah had met baby Paxton. Susanne was sure it would be love at first sight.
