Journal entry by Barbara Bradley — Jun 18, 2015

They just took Katie back to the OR. Just like that. Bill suited up in scrubs and followed behind Katie and OR staff. She was in great spirits this morning chattering nonstop. She was telling everyone knock-knock jokes. Me, one the other hand, doesn’t really like that moment watching them leave. I’m excited for change but the now before then is the hard in between.

It’s straight up “Grey’s Anatomy”, medical drama in here today. We were told yesterday that several big surgeries were going on today. After all it is Duke Hospital, so isn’t that always the case. I even joked that there must be conjoined twins. Well, I was right. While waiting to check Katie in I look over and see a family gathered. The mom was holding conjoined twins. Surrounded by miracles today.

We have a pager so when I know more I will update throughout the day.
