I worked last night 7-7 and it was crazy busy. An induction - who was quiet, a girl who came in at 5cm and delivered w/ a vacuum extraction, 3 outpatients - one of which was a 34-week 19-yr-old gravida 3 (she has a 3-yr-old and a 1-yr-old - I wish I were lying) w/ twins contracting - and did I mention she has had 2 previous c-sections? Not to mention the nice little old lady on the floor who was perfectly fine at the beginning of the shift, who spiked a temp of 104.7, became lethargic, basically unresponsive, incontinent and breathing 50 times a minute - who we promptly moved to the ICU (for those of you who don't realize - pts on the OB floor should never end up in the unit - not ever a good thing!!!)
So, I've had nights like that before, no big deal, I've had much worse. The reason for the headline - my sitter is on vacation so I am up w/ the kiddos all day long. Just have to make it to 12pm for Jack's nap so that I can get one myself. And Matt's on call tonight so there's no telling how much help I'll get out of him this evening. Man, I'm gonna sleep good tonight!
Will update w/ pics from Lisa's oh-so-fun shower this weekend as soon as I feel somewhat normal!
