You gotta be wise

Listen as your day unfolds, challenge what the future holds, try and keep your head up to the sky. Lovers, they may cause you tears, go ahead release your fears, stand up and be counted, don't be ashamed to cry. You gotta be, You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard, You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, You gotta stay together

Ronald Reagan

"Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide."

nothing much

there is not much going on here.

Just the normal running around and school crap.

Had the girls blood drawn the other day. Waiting for the results. I suspect that they are fine, but it doesn't hurt to check.

I had prepared Gracie ahead of time, and she seemed ok. Said she was going to be a big girl, and that she wanted Daddy to go in with her. After about 60 seconds he comes out, she is screaming hysterically, and has an NP and the RN trying to calm her down. It takes the three of us to hold her down to get the needle in. Once it was in, she stopped screaming to watch them draw the blood. haha.
Madalyn whined a little bit, there were some tears, but that was about it. lol.

Not much else going on. New Clinical week this week, hope all goes well.

The ER was fantastic. Had a Code B (stroke) pt come in. It was a left sided TIA, so his right side was blind, and weak and his speech was garbled. I did his nuero check and vitals and we took him for the CT scan within minutes of him arriving. We started him on TPA to bust the clot, and withint 15 mintues, he was 80x better. His vision was a lot better, his strength was remarkable and his voice was left garbled. We took him to the ICU. He said "Thank you for saving my life". I almost cried. I swear.

Then we had a Code Blue come in. That didn't end so well.
