It's been a while....

Holy earache Batman!

I went swimming at the local YWCA on Friday and my right ear (the one that ALWAYS gets infected) is aching so bad. I'm sure it's just swimmers ear but OUCH! It's been a long time since water has been in these ears. Well, except for showering of course.

Things have been really hectic and busy at work. A patient for our heart failure clinic went into respiratory arrest 2 weeks ago when he was coming in. We put him in a wheelchair and he immediately turned blue and was unresponsive. We called a code blue and could not find a pulse. We started doing CPR and I relieved a nurse doing chest compressions. I had to get someone to relieve me though because my hands were so sweaty from doing compressions that my palms were just sliding around and my pumps weren't effective. We got his pulse back but he was already showing signs of brain damage when the code team took him to the ED. He passed away about a week later.

DS is an ill box today. He has just been grumpy and clingy. Nothing will please him. I wonder if he's teething but he tells me his teeth don't hurt.

Some random pics from the past month....
