its been a little bit since my last post because i just havent been up to posting... my plate is beginning to get a little full... i feel like my list of things to do is just getting longer and longer! mike and i are on "vacation" next week so hopefully i can get caught up! i am also looking forward to spending some quality time around the house with my boys!
first item today-
Chloe Evans... my friends baby that i was going to go see in the NICU as of last post. The entire day before going up to see misti and the baby i was so excited i could hardly contain myself. I was going to finally be able to set foot into the Childrens Hospital AND go into the NICU! Working on a telmentry floor the majority of my patients are 70+ years old... and i just feel that my calling in the nursing field is to the little patients. So about an house before i was to go up to see Chloe i recieved a terrible phone call from my friend Jessica. She just got word that baby Chloe wasnt going to make it.... completely speechless. This trip to the hospital was one that was not exciting but one that I was truely going to dread. Seeing Chloe for the first and last time was one of the hardest things as a mom (thus far) to expierence. She was like a doll... so pretty, so perfect. Nothing even apeared to be wrong. Misti and Donnie were told that little Chloe suffered from extreme shock from the accident. Her lungs and kidneys were not functioning and results from an EEG showed no brain activity. I still decorated her bed as planned and tried to offer misti and donnie my condolences. They said goodbye to their sweet baby the next day at 4p.m. May God Bless their family. Im not really sure how you pick up from that. How do you go on after loosing a child? I once felt my heart actually hurt after loosing someone special to me... The pain must feel 10x greater... Her funeral was as beautiful as she was. She looked like a doll. She was in a beautiful dress and was layed to rest in a tiny pink casket... thats all i can do for now. ill update later, i just cant keep typing. im praying for your family misti.
