| Meridith McLane | Hi to everyone ! Here's a quickie update: I'm working at TLC (the
place where I did my first Level II last summer). It's a small outpatient
clinic (me, Erica, and our boss, Brigid, are the only OT's). Brigid
is a wonderful, supportive, and patient boss. I couldn't ask for
anyone better. . |
| Sarah Schuck |  Update
on 2-18-09: "Just wanted to let you all know I had to let Zach
go to The Rainbow Bridge today (also known as put him to sleep.)
He collapsed at my mom's house, the vet actually went to my mom's
house and transported him to the office. They did x-rays, and found
cancer in his spleen and lungs, the growths were throughout his
chest. He and I had a deal - he couldn't leave me while I was going
through all the school nonsense, as I knew it'd be tough to get
through all of those stresses and deal with his passing. Yesterday
I got the official word from the State of Ohio that I'm a licensed
occupational therapist - I got through, and it was his time to go.
I'd always promised I'd not let him suffer - my mom and I were with
him. He was a great and special dog, especially to me. I'll miss
him dearly - as you all can imagine. I just don't want to explain
the story multiple times. He was my buddy, I loved him lots - and
I'll see him again." Sarah as taken a job at The Drake Center
in Cincinnati. "I am loving working at Drake - I'm on the LTAC
so vents, traches, NG tubes, pulse-ox lines, significant deconditioning,
are all a part of my day. The staff is great, I feel it's going
to be a fairly easy transition. Rough days too of course - the roommate
of one of my patients coded during one of my tx sessions..... YIKES!
