School has been crazy, but the time finally came for me to get to do my Pediatric Clinicals at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, AR. I had a blast! I thought for sure I would cry from seeing all the sick little kiddos, but I didn't cry once. I did have to hold back some tears a few times. Once you know how much they are helping the little one's it's not so sad anymore, you become the strong one for the family.
We arrived in Little Rock on Thursday night for Orientation, then on Friday and Saturday we were there for 12 hours. I got back home last night at 9:30 and pretty much went straight to bed. I am still very tired, but I have gotten alot of paperwork done today and am almost caught up.
After this trip I realized how often things go wrong that we rarely hear about here in NWA. So many times mothers can have a healthy baby in Utero and the trauma and pressure changes from delivery are not taken well and can cause many problems! I got to see some micro premies that should still be cooking in their momma's oven, it is truly a miracle how medicine has advanced and that these babies are able to be alive! It truely is a miracle!!!
This is the group I went with on Thursday night for Orientation. This is only 1/3 of my class.
These 2 pictures are all of us on the elevator!
