What a week it has been. First the heartbreaking story of the Tennessee resident that sent her child back to Russia. I just can not get my mind around such behavior. Personally, we know of at least 21 children that are now living in the states with loving families, and love reading their blogs and seeing pictures of how they have blossomed since being in the states. For any of you not in the adoption circle please read this blog for some great insight on adoption This whole story just breaks my heart...

Mother has been in a High/Low bed for several weeks now and I just hate it. Use of this bed has taken away her ability to turn herself as there are no rails on the bed. Apparently, they elevate her for meals and she fell out of the bed on Saturday. I don't understand how a bed with rails is considered restraints, but they can put a frail 97 years in a bed with no rails, elevate it for mealtime, and leave her unattended. This whole situation just breaks my heart...

Maybe next week will be better.
