One of the grandtwins had a bad cough so Keri made a doctor's appointment for this morning.
As long as you're taking one, you may as well take two so Keri, Kathy and I plus the boys went to the doctor's office. When you are waiting in the lobby, everyone comes over to ask if they are twins. While we were waiting we met one of the most remarkable women with whom I have ever visited . She had one boy of a set of twins. She and her husband are foster parents to babies many of whose mothers were on drugs during pregnancy. She said they only take in children with medical problems. Normally they only take them one at a time but these two are numbers 16 and 17 because they are twins. The mother is suspected of doing meth dining pregnancy and the twins are three months old and have already had two surgeries. We were called to go to a small examination room. As the nurse took us back to the exam room, she remarked that they see that lady quite a bit and they consider her a saint. With the twins plus three adults, there wasn't much room. I volunteered to go to the waiting area. I went back and talked to the foster mom of the twin. She said her background is she is a surgical nurse for spinal surgeries. She and her husband had adopted one foster child who is autistic and is now 10 years old. She said these kids will be on Medicaid as long as they live as no one could afford the medical bills if they adopted the child. She said the effects of meth are still unknown but these two have internal organs that are dying and that's the reason for the two operations. About then she was called to an exam room. I knew I had met a person who gave me an uplift. It's a shame though of what she has to do. What made her even more special to me is she is originally from Cheyenne and a University of Wyoming School of Nursing graduate.
