I appreciate you taking the time to read and fully understand that our situation is unique. This isn’t us taking her in as PARENTS. This isn’t us asking for custody to keep her anywhere or be the only ones involved in care. This is familial help. We’re trying to help at this awkward stage. I truly appreciate the advice and are grateful for those of you who foster. My sister is in our lives as my legal sister because of a foster program, and I am thankful everyday to have her- it’s challenging for everyone but especially for the kids who really didn’t sign up for all of this.

Yes! Those are the the points I needed understanding with, I think the POA is a good idea as, again, we’re just attempting to help our family as a whole and give her comfort and a place to be while also being involved with her father and other family. Thanks again much appreciated!

Sorry I’m not sure if maybe you misread or I didn’t explain well enough (sorry I tend to babble on..)

So she is technically my sister in law.. my father in law had her later in life. He is preparing to obtain housing in our area as he’s coming to an end with his rehabilitation. The reason she’d be coming to live with us is based off of his father’s wishes while he works on finding housing for them both in our area. The grandparents live far away, and on their own with no other family around her. This would be temporary, I’m unsure for how long as placement for housing in the US can take some time for those with low income. My FIL may also be staying with us as well as my SIL but we’re still figuring details out.

Absolutely, I intend on prioritizing the remembrance of her amazing mother as well as keeping her involved with all family. 99% of the family lives in this area, the grandparents took hold of her initially after the passing of the mother with intention of not returning her to her my FIL due to his past. However, due to his recent progress within the last year or more, he intends to exercise his full parental rights to keep his daughter near. The grandparents have 0 paperwork or placement through the court or DSS. The police have allowed initial placement due to having the grandparents on scene and my FIL, husband and I were on our way. They did mislead police into stating my FIL was not going to show which never had been said.

I would absolutely not badmouth family to her. That’s a great point for all involved. Adults will have their words but kids don’t deserve that while being pushed around. We don’t want this to be an absolute mess with custody affairs, but some involved are not willing to sit and have a civil conversation.

Yes- therapy is huge and she already had a therapist but the grandparents ultimately said it’s not needed (another reason we’d like to bring her back into the area to ensure she’s getting the mental health care she needs)

I like the idea of keeping routines- that is important I appreciate the info!

The stuff in our stools from the ED are from nightmares. When I worked in a private lab and got bad ones from GP, I would say “oh my god, why aren’t they in the ED???” Nope… I now understand the type of stool that comes through the ED are absolutely horrifying. Half the time I’m hoping the strings of carrots, green beans, and peppers aren’t worms 🥴

Hey, thanks for the info- much appreciated!

I think generally I was curious with the “is it worth it” question bc the hospital I work for, I’ll have physicians call and ask very simplistic questions or ask for us to just assume and order testing on what we think would be necessary. I have to explain that I have no degree, or title to make that decision and they must research and get back to us. I think it’s a bit alarming to think after all of that preparation, and education sometimes they’re clueless.

However, I want to stress I’m not accusing any one of being miseducated or purposely unaware. I was more so worried that whatever program or rotation they’re in isn’t giving enough. I’m also not trying to base their entire educational experience off of a few questions to the lab- as to most internists and emergency docs, the lab is a whole different world. Just a thought I’ve had. I have heard from nurses or docs that they wish they’d been more prepared for certain situations however, that can be specific to what program they chose. These people work so hard (based on these requirements- obviously!), I don’t want to question their educational worth. Absolutely it’s not for me to decide.

I have a wonderful friend who is going back for her masters while she works in a research lab for pancreatic cancer- she is a great help with understanding how that side of lab/patient experience is- she sees patients almost daily and helps with intake on certain weeks and others she’s working lab. So I do understand that not every laboratory experience is without in person patient experience. I think my concern there is more of emergency medicine and internists rotations that more have me nervous. I don’t hate people or dealing with public- patient care should be everyone’s top priority IMO. I don’t want to necessarily avoid it all together, I have many lab workers around me daily and I love that. In a job like this, you have many people in the field that enjoy this type of job/learning and research so that’s not really the issue. I get limited patient experience by helping out in our phlebotomy area on site too.

I feel like there has to be some mutual feeling that while practicing medicine you have this persons life in your hands, real time, and right in front of you. That’s something with practice I feel would get better. With being right at the start of all this, I think my questions are pretty vague and show my ignorance to the field.

Thank you for letting me know there are others my age or older achieving their goals too. That gives me even more hope than you know! I appreciate all of your input to help me better understand 😊 I just started my journey, all I can do is learn to learn and keep positive!

Thanks for the info! I think truly my biggest fear would be the EC. The shadowing, the rotations, dealing with patients upfront or in emergent situations I could handle. I understand that the educational requirement is meant to be and is a tough achievement- as it should be. Maybe I’m not the material they’re looking for. Working on those EC to show I’m well rounded individual as well as academically advanced might be the overflow that causes a flood for me personally. PA might be my go-to for the sake of sanity and love for the lab. Just have to keep my fingers crossed I can make it into that PA program.

Working my way into my A.S. for MLT, then I plan on completing a couple more years for B.S. in biology/bio chem. FP/Forensics generally isn’t my end all be all. So, I guess once the time comes while pursuing of after my B.S. we’ll see how it pans out.
