This conversation takes place between the hours of 9 am and 10 am, Thursday:
Dr. Crow: Has that broviac really been working for 15 months?
Dad: (Proudly) Yes it has.
Dr. Crow: ...and Timmy hasn't been sick?
Dad: (Proudly) No.
Dr. Crow: (Surprised) ...and he hasn't been hospitalized in over a year?
Dad: (Proudly) No.
Dr. Crow: ...not even for CF issues?
Dad: No.
Dr. Crow: Wow, Timmy, you're doing great.
Dad: (Smiles)
This event takes place between the hours of 9pm and 10 pm, Thursday:
Mom: Um, dear, I can't connect his TPN to his broviac.
Dad: Why?
Mom: It has sprung a leak !
We called the ER and explained to the poor clueless night-shift resident what happened, that we clamped the line, that he should call Dr. Crow. At 12:15 am, the "official" call comes that we should stay home and come to the office in the morning. Good thing, because at 12:15 am, everyone was in bed sleeping.
Friday morning, Dad took Timmy for his OT appointment and then to see Dr. Crow. The line got patched, flushed, and the drama was over. We are glad that this all happened during a time when Timmy was at home and not at school, but we still think that Dr. Crow jinxed us !
