Fishy and Sharky

We added two more vertebrates to our family. Two nice little gold fish that Isaac named, you guessed, Fishy and Sharky. I would post their pictures, but I am supposed to be writing a paper. Isaac has wanted fish for awhile, and one day, I just gave in. My biggest concern is how two tiny fish in a 3 gallon tank manage to stink so bad. We have a filter. They had all clean water. Yet, after only a few days, the tank is murky and smells terrible. I also know that I am not going to clean out that stupid tank after one week.
On Friday afternoon I had my first patient have anaphalyctic reaction to a chemo. I started his very first dose of chemo and five minutes later he was not breathing, or moving, and his heart wasn't beating.
It is funny in t.v. shows (I am think of House, in particular) anaphalyaxis is very dramatic - the patient clutches at their throat, and maybe gets a scream out. This man just slumped over. After our code team descended and took over, though, he revived and was able to leave the hosptial two days later, about the same time I stopped shaking. I am proud to say I did what I was supposed to and didn't completely lose it, though. I can now put, "made it through a code" under my accomplished before I turn thirty list.
Tonight Ariel and I pick up my parents from the airport, where in their mid sixties, they are returning from their very first trip abroad. They went to Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and Italy for two weeks.
