Still Plodding Along
I've gotten a few more pages this morning. Jan was in and out this morning, so I couldn't really concentrate. She thought she was supposed to be in traffic court this morning, but it's tomorrow.
Also her friend Chuck is in jail, so that's on her mind. This lady brings her kid into the daycare and says "Oh, he stopped breathing and coughed up blood last night, so you might want to keep an eye on that..." like it's no big. Whaddya know, but that the kid stopped breathing and coughed up blood while he was there. Chuck did CPR and called 911. Now they don't think the kid is going to make it and they found skull fractures in the X-Ray and are trying to say it's all Chuck's fault. Umm, excuse me, but how would the kid get skull fractures from CPR and how about the fact that the mother had said that this had happened the night before at home? I say they ought to be looking at the kid's home life. From what I hear, Chuck looks all big and scary (ex-Seal or something), but he's a real pussy-cat and would never, NEVER harm a child. They just want the easy answer. Look at his service records (crossing fingers that there's nothing odd in there), talk to folks who know him and then dive into the family life. This is just so much bullshit. It also seems to have been on the Channel Four news the other night (no TV so we didn't see it), and you just know that with the way news reports are, they won't bother reporting that Chuck wasn't responsible once they actually bother doing some decent police work and see that he didn't do anything to harm the child.
Anyway, gotta shower and take something to be mailed for Jan...I don't have any stamps and it's getting late enough that I'll have to go to the post office to make sure it gets out today....apparantly it's something important. She had to run to her night job.
Here's hoping Chuck's bond hearing goes well today and that I get some more pages in this afternoon... I'm on page 74 right now.
