A New Year's To Remember

Is it really 2012?  Is today really at New Years Day?

I enjoyed dinner with friends last night and we did stay out until just past midnight when we toasted in the new year.  But today was spent at Children's Memorial Hospital with my four year old niece.  She's been battling pneumonia for almost two weeks and has been in the hospital since last Monday.  This past Thursday we transferred her from the hospital near her home to Children's to get advanced care.

The staff at Children's have been great.  The nurse today (who she's seen before during this visit) has been especially amazing...totally proves how the right person in the right role can make a world of difference.  That being said it wasn't quite how I thought I'd spend my new year's day.  And I'm sure it wasn't how my brother and sister-in-law planned to spend their Christmas and New Years.

Here's hoping that 2012 can only get better from here on out (and the sooner the better for Caroline's sake)!
