Little peanuts

I'm 3 days into my 28 days of my rotation through the NICU. I'm already tired, and I haven't even taken my first call. Tomorrow afternoon will be the first time I'll be going to "resus" (short for resuscitation) calls. It'll be the scary deliveries, but at least I will have back-up with me including a respiratory therapist and a nurse both specially trained for this with the ability to call a fellow if needed. I know I'll be saying many many prayers for myself, my team, these babies, and their families. By noon Friday, I will be 30 hours into my call; hopefully I will have helped to save a few lives by then!
