Peds week

On Thursday, Kristin and I shared a 6 day old that was born @ LNRMC and was discharged with GBS. She was getting IV antibiotics and went home on Wednesday morning. On Friday, I had an 8 month old that had had 2 seizures. Her father had epileptic seizure until 8 years of age. She was being observed for seizure activity and given a neuro consult. She showed to signs of seizure activity and was discharged home on Friday evening. I got to discharge her and discontinued her IV loop. I hated having her cry because of the tape pulling, but I was glad that she was ok and went home. She had 2 follow-up appointments - one with her pediatrician and one with neuro. She was sooooo cute and loved her mommy. I really enjoyed my experience in Peds this week. I learned what is was like being on the opposite side of the life...I had always been the mommy and not the caregiver...it seems so different being on the caregiver side...and even a bit easier being on that side than on the mommy side. I will definitely take this experience with me on my journey in my career and will remember what life is like on both sides.
