I had such a neat experience tonight. And I need to share
it.
So my friend’s family called me tonight at 11. They have a
friend (who I know) who was at their house that night and is ready to deliver.
They called because she hadn’t felt the baby move for a couple of hours and was
getting really worried. So they wanted me over to see if I could help her and
find a heartbeat.
When I got over there, I had her lay down so I could find
where the baby was and so I could have a better chance of finding the
heartbeat. And after a little bit of looking for it (I’m sure it felt way
longer than that to the mommy) I found a heartbeat! So I let the mom and her family listen, and you could feel the
relief in the room.
I was so touched they trusted me enough to call me and have
me help them. And it was definitely such a huge reminder to me of my love of
nursing, and how grateful I am I have the knowledge to help others.
I’m so thankful I have had the opportunities I’ve had and
the love I have for nursing and helping others. Ah! I can’t wait to have more
opportunities like this. It’s the greatest feeling to be able to help someone
with something they can’t do for themselves.
