I need to talk about what just happened...
It's 3:00 and I'm at work and about 45 minutes ago we had a 3 year old die in our ER from drowning in a pool. I'm just beyond sick and heartbroken right now. We don't have pediatrics here, so it's very rare that we have children come in, and especially rare to have a child come in coding. When I heard that he was coming in I thought I could handle it, but as soon as I saw the stretcher come through the door I lost it. Started shaking and crying. Thank God one of my co-workers was with me because I was absolutely useless. I had to call another one of my co-workers to come assist because I just had to get out of there. When I left I think I cried harder and prayed harder than I ever have in my life for God to put life back in this child. I was pacing waiting for my co-workers to come back with good news, but sadly he didn't make it. I can't stop crying and thinking about his little face. Thank God I wasn't there when his parents came in because they said it was just beyond awful. I have seen many adults die, but this is only the 2nd time I've seen a (non-infant) child die, and the first time since having Andrew and I have to say it's 10x worse this time because I'm a mom now. I'm so heartbroken for this little boy and utterly devastated for his parents. I just needed to get that out. Please pray for this family.
