My Girls

Another week of working at the hospital and many more experience. Last night was a long call night. I went up to the hospital for a twin c-section only to see a four day old infant being carried into the NICU. We unwrapped the child to find her pulseless and not breathing. Over the next two hours me and my intern coded the child. After that long intervention we were able to get her to a stable condition except for the fact she was not spontaneously breathing on her own. If I could only have a vent to get the child through that peroid of stress. The next morning I awoke to find the child had died six hours later. The last week has brought five deaths so far. On the flip side there have been countless children who would have died without the interventions were are blessed to have available. keep praying as we continue to work for three more weeks and even more for the interns and long term doctors who will be working in this environment for years to come.
