Priceless Moments

Since UCLA is a training hospital, the "fellow" doctors are regularly reassigned to new patients. This is a term used when a doctor is continuing his/her education to specialize in a certain field while doing a "fellowship". They work under the primary doctor who in Nonnie's case, is Dr. De-Vos. Today the new fellow would give her some good news...... no need for any transfusions. This meant that today would likely be an uneventful day, so Papa used this opportunity to go home for the day. He might even get to check out a couple of the grandkids games tomorrow before going back.

This evening, Lisa was talking to Nonnie while driving Dustin to baseball practice. She was using her Bluetooth device, and Dustin asked Nonnie from the backseat "what was their story"? She told him that she was looking out of her kitchen window and noticed a mommy deer scurry into the bushes once spotted. She continued to watch for a few more minutes until she saw the mommy deer and a baby deer come out onto the grass. The baby's legs were so skinny and wobbly, she could barely stand up. The story had to end early because they had arrived at the field.

Lisa was nervous because she thought her mom was having a moment of dementia. After Dustin got out of the car, Lisa asked "what was that all about"? Nonnie told her that when she is in Oregon and away from the kids, she tells them different stories of all of the daily activities. Apparently, since the kids won't be able to see her regularly she told the kids to pretend that she is just in Oregon for a while. If only we could look through the eyes of a child's mind more often! Priceless.
