Tavia and Hospital Stays

Got the okay to share with all of you who love my niece, Tavia.  She spent Monday afternoon 'til late this morning at the hospital in Augusta.Maine General Medical Center  I must say if you have to be IN a hospital that is one very nice one.  She has been discharged but still waiting on results.  In the meantime she'll be set up with a Rheumatologist and a new PCP to get to the bottom of this once and for all.  Those of you who know her best, picture her sitting there on the hospital bed with 3 docs and 6 residents around her. One young nice looking doc which made it a bit more bearable I'm sure. They find her case quite interesting.  Monday, when asked how she would describe herself she said "easy going"  The staff had to agree as she never pushed the nurses button unless her IV was beeping incessantly (and only because Pammy and I begged her to) Sitting there 'til 11:00 Monday evening and then through the day yesterday we couldn't help but think of those of you who have sat day after day in a hospital room or the waiting room down the hall .. eating hospital food and hoping the doc will be back soon with a report, a good one.  We've gone through days like that with others we've loved and know just how wearying it can be.  Thankful Tavia is back home now and hoping her new doctors will figure this all out.
