Linda Thomas, RN: Today is your day!!!

Hi Linda Thomas, RN! This is your day! I don't know you and you don't know me, but I'm sure there is a Linda Thomas, RN out there somewhere.

This blog is for you!!!!

(Thanks for checking in on my week hiatus. I was in the hospital with my son. He was diagnosed with Lyme, but we're home and on the road to recovery!)
