frail

it has been a few days.
ive been busy.
work + gre = my life right now.

anyway.... here is a quick blog....

at my job i have the unique experience to witness the frailty of life.
i see people in their first moments of life, and their last.
it is quite a unique experience. thats the only way i can describe it.
and some days its hard.
dont think we (er nurses) are "hard & tough" all the time.
for the majority of the time we are.
you have to put up with a lot.
crazy people. yelling people. unhappy people.
and you are constantly busy, but there is a soft side to us all.

and the other night it was evident.
33 year old. cardiac arrest. coming in EMS (by ambulance). cpr in progress.

WHAT!? 33. did they say 33? surely not.
well it was. 33 year old. to say it was tough is an understatement.
the person made it out of our ER alive... after 3 hours of on & off CPR; LOTS of medications and IV drips, but out, and to the ICU where they remain.

this person had no health problems. not a smoker. not a drinker. just the average person.
who dropped dead.

life is short. life is frail. life is unexpected.
its a necessity to live life to the fullest. love God with all your heart. seek him daily. love his people. share his love. be happy. go for your dreams. go big or go home... for real.

life is short. life gives us hard situations.
the other night was hard.
there were tears later.
there were hugs to husbands later.
you just never know....

live your life.
love your life.
give hugs.
be happy.
smile.
life IS good. no matter what.

God ALWAYS provides...
the next night at work it was the most peaceful/fun nights one could have.
the ER emptied out around 11PM
(which is extremely RARE!)
we goofed off, were able to order take out, got to hang out, and really enjoy each other.
and by each other i mean my coworkers.
im pretty lucky ... i work with some FANTASTIC people.
i couldn't be happier.
it was exactly what we needed after the night before.
a night of peace.
