TB Scare

This is just great. A night nurse at Northside Hospital, where Mairin was born at the same time that Mairin was born, tested positive for turberculosis. Luckily, we are not one of the 37 newborns that were put at risk. I can't decide whether to be super super ticked, or chalk it up to life. On another note in my disappointment with Northside...a newborn screening that we had requested was not done. The nurse said it was, but the lab says it wasn't.

However, Northside (aka, the Baby Factory) is definitely the place to have a child if there is any possibility of complications. The deliver 50 babies a day there! The doctors were great, but some of the nursing staff and technicians leave a lot to be desired. Can you say bedside manner without the 'tude?
