days of our lives

Chapter 1
The Longest 15 Minutes of My Life
it was a long day, i was from duty and was tasked to take care of a rapidly breathing asthmatic in the ICU.....with 2000 other things on my mind i was told i was to get up to the NICU because i was to transport a 29 weeker to a hospital 14 kilometers away.....in a bassinet with warm water filled gloves to keep the baby warm and me to keep it breathing! the first thing i told the ambulance driver was to keep it easy on the turns! bagging the patient and keeping my eyes on the pulse oximeter and glancing outside hoping to see the hospital where we were headed.....i thought we were never going to get there......but we did.....phew!

Epilouge
i got back tired, from the travel, from the tedious endorsement, or just from all the stress, i dont know but i laid down for a couple of minutes after checking that my asthmatic was ok and then the nurse told me i had a phone call.......i was to go up to the NICU because preterm twins were delivered......booohooohooo at 3 in the morning!!!!


Chapter 2
My First Mortality
after a few hours of rest at home i was back in the nursery and i was told i might catch a congenitally deformed preterm whose mom was having her prenatal check up......curious about the history i went to the labor room and was surprised to find that people were hyped up about something.......i should have known, the mom was being taken to the delivery room for a stat CS! with everything ready, i waited....true enough the baby did look weird i dont think it had a chance.......hence my first death certificate......
and if that wasnt enough i had another preterm catch who was thank God a-ok!

Chapter 3
Rewarded
finally from duty the next day, i planned to endorse right away and as i was going about my already late endorsement another preterm was about to come out! when we first saw the baby we thought it was an abortus.....but the parents said they were aggressive so we stabilized this 600gramer and surprisingly she was a fighter!
so i went home sad yet rewarded hurrying on my way to attend the wedding of one of my best friends from nursing and what a wonderful wedding it was.......haaaayyyy.......
and to top it off i had a great evening with my sis and my love and my fave coffee at a great movie

Chapter 4
Feeling a Bit Ignored
after a few days i came home from a loooong duty and i just couldnt have my way!
bratty? hmmmm not really especially when you ask nicely even when you're cranky yet get a "i dont need to explain to you, i just dont want to do what you want" and then get ignored the whole night until you finally fall asleep out of sheer exhaustion.
and then the next day as if nothing had happened.......so i start the cold war......and nothing......as if nothing was the matter........are guys a bit dense or dont they get the fact that you're upset..... or was i just plainly being ignored until i get tired and come around (which i HATE!). is this a preview of what lies ahead? will i be able to take it?
GGGRRRRRR
