Fun With Zippy

 

There is a boy who inspires me.  His name is Henry.  My fight to get rid of childhood brain cancer is because of him and is dedicated to him.

Go Henry!!!   I am your biggest fan!

Love,

Zippy

I’m off to work with Kim!

She says I can be a nurse for a night!

She didn’t have any scrubs small enough for a lobster, so she let me borrow her Barbie nurse’s cap and cape.

I’m just about ready to jump out of Kim’s bag and get to work!

Now where did I put that stethoscope?

*****

First, I have to get report from the other nurses.

They tell me about all the patients in the emergency department!

Luckily things aren’t very busy tonight. Hope it stays that way!

*****

Sounds like we’re going to be getting a patient!

I’m taking report over the radio from the ambulance.

I hope the patient isn’t having an allergic reaction to lobsters!

Whew! The patient is only allergic to shellfish!

Wait, that’s me!

Uh oh!

*****

Patient safety comes first!

Every good lobster nurse makes sure to wash their hands before they take care of patients!

It takes me a long time to wash because I have so many claws!

At least this lotion will keep them soft!

*****

No germs are allowed in the emergency department.

This means the emergency department is very clean, all the time.

The housekeeper just finished washing the floor in this room.

I will put up this “Wet Floor” sign so people won’t slip on the floor!

Remember, safety comes first!

*****

I need to get a medicine out of the medicine machine for our patient.

I just push the button and take the medication out!

It’s like a computer.

This is fun!

*****

It’s time for me to write down all the information for my shift.

It’s almost time for us to go home.

I hope I remember all the important stuff we did tonight!

I’m tired and ready for…

*****

Coffee!

This is a fresh pot.

I sure had fun working in the emergency department tonight!

We took care of a lot of people.

I’m glad I got to help!

Hey! Can you even see me in here?

Kim says we’re watching Notre Dame football.

She is kind of a fan.

I’m mean, I’m posing in all her Notre Dame stuff!

Pom Poms, necklaces, pillow letters and a Brady Quinn autographed football.

She almost made me wear her Notre Dame earrings, but I had to remind her I didn’t have ears! Hello!

It’s a good thing I don’t have ears, because there is a lot of loud cheering going on here!

Tonight Kim is taking me to work so I can see how a nurse works!

Hopefully it’s quieter than the house!

Hi everybody!

Kim was telling me about this new caramel hot chocolate!

I told her I would take her out to try it!

We went to a Starbucks.

It was my treat!

The people were very nice.

They said they don’t get too many lobster customers!

They asked if I needed water during my visit! LOL!

I told them I was a land lobster!

*****

I had to check my email and Twitter page!

Luckily, my host had a computer I can use.

My computer is in the mail (thanks Dr. Theresa!). This one is sorta big.

Hmmmm….lots of interesting stories today!

*****

We were checking out the music at Starbucks.

I wonder who this guy is?

Kim says he isn’t Paul McCartney, so she isn’t going to buy it.

He looks like he sings really good, too!

Maybe I’ll buy it!

*****

WOW!

Halloween coloring books!

I sure have a lot of friends who would like one of these!

I bet if I held a crayon in both claws at once I could color really fast!

I wonder what costume I’ll wear for Halloween?

Kim says I could go as a lobster dressed as a lobster.

That doesn’t make any sense!

*****

Gosh! Look at all this coffee!

There is so much coffee, it’s like all the coffee in the whole world is here!

Lobsters like hot chocolate, though.

Especially caramel hot chocolate, so I’m gonna stop shopping and go eat!

*****

Pardon me for talking with my mouth full, but this brownie is so good!

Good thing I brought my backpack with me so that I can take the rest home!

I can’t put the hot chocolate in the backpack, so I better drink it here at Starbucks.

Kim says “thank you!” for the treat and she says we are going to go to work together on Saturday!

I get to be a nurse for one day!

But first we are going to watch something called “college football” on TV. A team called “Notre Dame”. Sounds like fun!

Hey! Zippy here!

Kim finally came home! She was on a trip when I arrived, how rude but that’s okay!

I’m here at an undisclosed location in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Yeah, I was already in San Francisco, but Kim says we’re just going to hang out.

I need some rest after my Hawaiian adventure. In fact, I think I still have sand in my claws!

I wonder where Kim will take me!
