let us pray.

for all those that died at virginia tech yesterday. may they all rest in peace. who would have thunk that in blacksburg, virginia such a tragedy could occur? it's so sad. the poor victims and their poor families.
for all the dying in the world. there's one pt at work that is almost near death. they're waiting for his brother to fly in before they take him off the ventilator. he's been in and out of the hospital for two years. when i first met him last year, he was walking and talking and just a nice man. when he came in almost a month ago, he was septic and just plain sick. and now they've decided to make him a DNR. his family is so nice. they said they've been to several different hospithals but ours is the best. they said that the level of care he's received on our unit doesn't compare to other hospitals including UCLA. it made us all t to know we care and we appreciated it but all of our hearts sank when we found out they made him a DNR. he's such a nice man and young, only 55 with a loving wife and 3 kids.
please also pray for stroke victims. their lives are changed in an instant. ladies be careful with those birth control pills. those warnings are true. our pt is only 42 and had a stroke and they're assuming it's from prolonged birth control use. so please. watch yourselves.
and for the world in general. that there may be peace somewhere but most especially in our own lives and our own hearts.
in this we pray. Amen.

It's so sad whats happening at VTECH....I remember 9/11 when the CSU system sent every student home...it was scary enough walking to my car along with 35 thousand students and nothing happened on our campus...I CANNOT imagine what that must be like for those kids.

on another note, lets talk about this BC effects at book club.
