Tuesday

Today we were in Labor and delivery and went on rounds. There was one mother that kicked Claire and I out, with a comment of “shouldn’t we be asked before bringing Trainees in here?” Which , they are right, they should be asked, but also, they are at a Training Hospital – they should know that EVERYONE that comes in that room minus the consultant/head doctor- are probably in training. She… was interesting… But later that day we saw an emergency C section of triplets at 26 weeks. That is so very, very early. The room was hectic and Claire and I took the responsibility of tying all the doctors into their sterile garb. The first baby came out and was breathing and healthy – the second two came and were not breathing so needed to be resuscitated and intubated and breathed for – it was intense – I thought that they were going to die, but they made it. One of the head docs was there and guiding the resident through the sutures etc. She was so intense, and I would have been nervous being her resident, but you know that she was training them well. We then got the signatures that we needed from various doctors, went to the internet, and eventually got to go to Muttrah with Margaux and shop. FINALLY. We bought scarves and frankincense and other gifts and an incredible bracelet. I can’t wait for you to see it. It’s so incredible!! It’s this Asian Dragon that wraps one and a half times around my wrist. Yes it was expensive, but it was so worth it. There was literally no buyer’s remorse after – so that’s a good sign, lol. I was so happy to come back, and Trevor only complained some about being there ; )
