So we made it back home on Friday the 19th. We have electricity now. My house is, once again, a big mess. I have tried to do some studying but I have absolutely no motivation. I keep checking my schools website and they just keep posting that they don't know when the school will be back open. Such a big help. So I guess i will keep waiting. In the meantime, I am trying to work a lot, get rest, and clean up my house, so maybe I will have 1 less thing to stress about when i do go back to school.
As for Ike we did have a window leak in our apartment and we now have molded curtains and carpet. It also got water all over a bunch of my husbands pants he had laying on the floor. I think I got to them in time to wash them and get them cleaned up. They smelled soooo bad. It was awful.
I worked another 16 hour shift overnight at the hospital. I had my first Code Blue. I had to call it. The patient decided he did not want his trach tube in him anymore. So he pulled it out and basically suffocated himself. Me and the RN found him and a team came with the crash cart and they were able to revive him. It was a miracle. I really didn't think we had made it in time. I was so happy to hear that he had made it through. I had some MAJOR adrenaline pumping. It was crazy. That's all I can say. It was just amazing watching the people that came in with the crash cart. They were so calm and collective. They went in and got the job done. The Nurse called his doctor, the Administrative Supervisor came up and called the family. It just worked so steadily. I hope I am able to work like that as an RN under those conditions someday.
So now I am just waiting to hear about school. I just hope they don't make it harder on us...
