Bummer

We got a call from Hopkins around noon telling us that they were full and didn't have any beds for today. She said it was a possibility that they might have one later this evening, but she called at 6 to say they wouldn't. We knew that this was a possibility. In the beginning, they said that the coordinator will call you the day of your admission to let you know if you should come. We were/are all packed and ready to go. Bobby was getting pretty nervous about the whole thing and this didn't help. It just gives him more time to worry. They told us they would call us back in the morning around 10 but that it looked good for tomorrow. So, we will relax at home tonight and plan to go to Baltimore tomorrow. We had been told that they always start the first dose at 10PM. The nurse that called tonight said that sometimes if they get the patient admitted early enough, they will start with the 2PM dose. I'll let you know what happens tomorrow after we get settled. If they want us there for 2PM, we will have to leave shortly after they call in the morning. I wonder how they do these things with people that don't live close enough to drive? I guess I can ask that question tomorrow. We hope everyone has a great weekend!
