Today has been a great day!
All systems are "go" -- if you know what I mean (and if you don't, I'm just not explaining).
This has been a small concern of ours, "is everything awake in there?" -- and now we know the answer!
Thanks to you who have prayed a prayer you thought you'd never pray...
He answers them all friends!! :)
I've been doing a lot of thinking about Nurses lately.
As you can imagine, being in the hospital for 12 days -- you meet a lot of these amazing men & women.
We were in awe as we watched them be experts in the areas of pain, comfort, progress, family dynamics, nutrition, crisis management, psychology, ice chips, crowd control, and so many other things. They are not only Medical Professional but also, Mom, Coach, Teacher, Counselor, Companion, & Advocate working hard at being present and yet not hovering as you're hurting. The best -- exude a sense of confidence, that all will be well if you'll just trust the plan that's in play. This is an amazing role in the life of one who is recovering.
But here's where my thoughts have gone recently...
Aren't we all called to be these things, to some degree, for each other?
You don't have to go through a major surgery to need someone with you. Sometimes life is just hard and you need someone, anyone, to stand with you in it. To listen, coach, teach, love, advocate...
This kind of nursing doesn't require passing Anatomy & Physiology either.
It just requires Us - fully present, willing to stand with.
So, here's a great, big, huge THANK YOU to all the Nurses I know -- Registered or otherwise.
And to the rest of us, let's go get a stethoscope and see what we can do!!
Happy Thursday!
