My kids all told me what they want.  Wow, such a up from last year.  Last year they wanted toys and didn't care what kinds of toys that they got.  This year, on the otherhand..... They want dvds, video games, laptops, portable dvd players, the works.  PHEW...... They also want this motorcycle that gets hooked up to the tv and you can petal it and it looks like they are riding on the tv screen.  YIKES.

So I thought hard about it.

My oldest son is getting the laptop
My second oldest is getting the portable dvd player
My youngest son is getting the tv motorcycle
My girl is getting a dora the explorer horse.

That plus the toys, dvds, video games and clothing.
Good thing that their father is giving me his bonus to put towards the presents.  Originaly he was supposed to keep the bonus for himself and I was going to use my bonus for myself as well.

Oh well.  They're gonna love what they get.  That's the main thing. xoxo.

Hopefully I'll have my camera working and I'll take some pictures of the little ones ripping open their presents.

HIGH PRAIRIE, Alta. — About 2,700 patients, including children, need to be tested for HIV and hepatitis because a handful of hospital staff in a northern Alberta farming community administered drugs with dirty syringes for nearly two decades.

Health officials said Monday they want to perform blood tests on 1,300 patients who had endoscopy procedures at the High Prairie Health Complex over four years dating back to March 2004.

Officials said fewer than five nurses were routinely injecting painkillers into intravenous lines with syringes that had already been used in lines attached to other patients.

As many as 1,400 patients who had dental surgeries at the same hospital dating back to 1990 also need to be tested, said Dr. Albert de Villiers, the region’s medical health officer, told a news conference.

“We are assuming at this point that a large number of them will be children because it’s more children that get dental surgery.”

He said no infections have been found and the risk of infection is very low, but “it is not an acceptable practice that we have identified and that’s why we stopped the practice.”

The problem was discovered earlier this month by a manager who observed the use of a dirty syringe. De Villiers said it took three weeks to sort out which patients may have been infected and whether blood testing was required.

Patients will be contacted by phone and registered mail for testing, which will be co-ordinated by Alberta Health.

“It might be tricky to track down all the patients,” said de Villiers. “We will try our best.”

The injections were performed by both registered nurses and licensed practical nurses, who both receive training on safe injection practices, said a spokesman for the health region.

Robin Laughlin, a physician who does most of the endoscopies in the town and has worked in the region for 35 years, said he was told a week ago.

“My reaction was surprise and disappointment. I didn’t know it was happening.”

Laughlin said he doesn’t know why the syringes were reused or what happened to quality control. “That’s obviously one of the questions that has to be answered.”

In endoscopy, a fibreglass scope is inserted into a patient’s bowel or stomach and beams back video images to scan for cancers, colitis and digestive problems.

Prior to the procedure, the patient is sedated by a syringe inserted into the top of an intravenous line.

Intravenous lines sometimes have blood seeping into them from a vein and a syringe could come in contact with the blood and possibly spread an infection.

Alberta’s Quality Health Council is investigating, but hospital staff were reportedly reluctant to answer questions.

“We’re talking about a group of staff isolated in one department in the facility,” said Tim Guest, a vice-president for the local health region.

“It’s not widespread in the entire facility. (It’s) a very small number of employees — less than five.”

Health Minister Ron Liepert said he suspects human error is the root cause, but said the investigation will not focus on laying blame.

“We have a health system that is made up of hundreds of thousands of people. They’re all human beings. There will be mistakes that will be made,” said Liepert.

“As soon as we start pointing fingers or wanting to lay blame, people are not going to want to co-operate.”

The minister also said there’s no indication that the practice of using a syringe on more than one patient is happening at other Alberta health facilities.

High Prairie, located on the west end of Lesser Slave Lake, has a population of 3,000, but administers to 17,000 in its service area. It is a regional centre serving a mixed farming, forestry and oil and gas community.

This is the second case involving poor sterilization procedures at an Alberta hospital in recent years.

In early 2007, poor sterilization techniques and the outbreak of a superbug forced 3,000 patients from St. Joseph’s Hospital in Vegreville east of Edmonton to be tested for infection.

The 25-bed hospital was closed for several weeks after instruments were recirculated with flecks of blood and dead tissue on them.

A class-action lawsuit has since been filed, claiming the hospital failed to ensure the instruments were properly cleaned.

The opposition parties said Premier Ed Stelmach’s government has failed to enforce heightened standards for infection prevention promised after the Vegreville outbreak.

“Imagine one of these blood-borne infections infecting someone,” said Liberal legislature member David Swann.

“These are life-threatening illnesses. It’s totally unacceptable. ”

“This government spends more money to educate drug addicts about not reusing syringes than they do for health professionals,” said NDP Leader Brian Mason.

“This is simply appalling and could happen again”.

Such incidents are not unheard of in other hospitals and health facilities across North America.

Since 2001, the Center for Disease Control in the U.S. has identified several hepatitis C outbreaks associated with syringe reuse and other lapses in recommended infection control practices.

This guy, Tubby Shipper that I work this is going to carve his whole pumpking with a haunted house and grave yard and the works.  I heard he's quite talented like that.  So I'm hoping me wins.  Oh and he's funny too, so far the only one that really makes me crack up.

On another note, my oldest son finally figured out what he wants to be so I went out with him to Wal-Mart to buy him a Army Costume.  It's cute.  I also picked up the hallowe'en treats.  I bought a few boxes before but decided to use them for school snacks.  So I bought 2 big bags of candies, 2 bags of individual sun flower seeds and 2 big bags of marshellows, 2 boxes of those Mr Cristie snacks.  I've just go to get those little treat bags.  I remembered that I had to buy them when I was unlocking my front door.  Oh well, I always forget something when I go out.

I hope you all have a fun hallowe'en.
