Dictated: A 15-1/2-year-old bone age in a 15- and 11-month-old girl.

My daughter will be driving and I can leave transcription/editing ! I just hope there is enough work to last that year. I love working at home. I've worked with some mean office women before who are backstabbing and downright evil, but at least I had security in my paycheck and paying my bills. This job has been great as far as being home with my daughter when she gets out of school and being home when she is sick, but now she is older and when she starts drivi ...
