Surreal

Thoughts on this week on PICU night float:
  • 3 codes in the last 3 nights
  • 3 episodes of listening to mothers scream as their child's monitor shows flat lines
  • 3 rounds of controlled chaos as the team frantically moves to save a life
  • 1 loss and 2 saves ... for now
  • 1 family irreversibly changed and 2 families waiting in limbo
  • 3 nights of me realizing just how much I hate this place and how glad I am God has placed people here who love it
  • 1 more night until I'm out of here
  • Miracles do happen
  • Every day I am alive is more proof of God's grace

Sarah - I can't even imagine how hard that must have been on you. I'm glad you're almost done with your time there.
