Nurse's Note: Family Documentation

Not many of you may know this, but every nurse is at least bilingual.  

It's true.  

Medical profession folk are blessed with the ability to speak in legal documentation.

It's kind of fun actually.  The whole point of the language is to think of the most unnatural way to say something, and then type it for permanent record purposes.  Most of the time it's just time consuming and awkward.  But I have wondered at times what a night of my life would sound/look like if I were to document it the way I would a hospital note...

Dinner prepared and eaten without incident or complication.  Husband compliant with dish-duty at this time, encouraged to call for assistance as needed.  Angel baby in bed sleeping soundly, no s/s of distress or discomfort.  Dry diaper on, pacifier within reach.  Toys put away, baby monitor on and functioning.  Clean clothes folded, front door locked, Christmas tree lights glowing.  Warm pajamas applied and hot chocolate brewing as per wife request.  Husband and wife enjoying eachother's company. No complaints or further needs noted at this time.

Even in awkward nursing note language my life sounds pretty awesome.  Seriously, SO blessed!
