Patience is a virtue

Being the most impatient person in the world, waiting for something to happen that is completely out of my control is hard. However I am learning more and more patience everyday. Still no plans for surgery. Lincoln is still stable, the surgeons and Doctors just want him to be in the best condition possible for his surgery, which we obviously agree with.

So as if we hadn't had enough to stress about this past week, I just found out that someone stole my credit card from my wallet and racked up $1,900 on it over the past seven days. We already called our credit card and "With Capital one we pay 0% of fraudulent charges". So that was a huge relief. What isn't a huge relief is that someone is wandering around the hospital without a soul. We are pretty sure that it got stolen from the parents sleep room at the hospital. So whoever stole it knew that we had a child in the hospital. They also had to look at our faces every time they used our card since our picture was on it. Which leads me to my next frustration that she was able to make 48 transactions without a single person checking for ID OR noticing that she looked nothing like the face on the card. We assume it is a she because she spent $140 at a beauty salon. Moral of the story, always check ID.

I remember wondering if I would be ok to leave my stuff outside of the bathroom for the five minutes I was in the shower. Then I thought, "no body could be that heartless," stupid me.

The funny thing about this person is that amongst all the Starbucks, McDonalds, Subway, Tanning, Nail Salon, and many other purchases made, she also seems to have perhaps filled a prescription at a pharmacy. We assume that they will have a record of the transaction along with a name on the prescription. So now we have dedicated ourselves to tracking her down and seeing that consequences are served.

This post seems negative....Here are the things for which we are grateful:

Our camera didn't get stolen along with our memory card.
They didn't steal my whole wallet. I had $5 in it.
I decided to pay the rent for the Ronald McDonald house..That's how I realized my card was missing. I don't use my wallet a lot having Will around all the time.
They stole two credit cards but only used one of them. (Don't worry we canceled both.)
Most importantly I am extremely grateful for my wonderful husband. He is my rock.

Lincoln told us he loved us today:) Humor me
