So i haven't made a post in a long while. Today has been a FANTASTIC day for me. I woke up at a decent hour and got ready for school my first day back at school for a new semester. I was worried the night before because my schedule was a little messed up and i wasn't sure that i'd get the schedule that i want/needed. I then went to school and had the best time meeting my new teachers and classmates, and seeing all my friends. I love my classes. I then went home for lunch with Roch and i checked the waiting list i was on for a class that i needed to fix my schedule. it was open! i quickly signed up for it and my schedule was fixed and perfect. then i went back to school and bought my books, which didn't cost me as much as i planned on. sweet so far right?! then i went to apply at this fancy restaurant downtown, and i'm hoping to hear back from them soon. i then went with Roch to Sam's club and got a few things and we stopped by Wal-Mart. when we pulled up in the parking garage, we were at the right place at the right time. We looked over by the entrance and saw a lady lying on the ground with people around her, i thought it was just a bum or something lying down on the ground, but Rochelle was like "somethings wrong". Rochelle yelled at me to go help and see what was wrong. i think her exact words were, " go nurse, go!" so i got out and went over there to find this lady that had passed out and was convulsing and not responding. so i took charge because i'm the only one who knew what to do. i yelled at someone to call 911, but no one had a cell phone. so i called 911 while i was checking the lady's vital signs to make sure she was stable. her vitals were good and she was coherent but not responding. she looked dazed and confused, as is normal for her condition, and i asked her questions about her medical history and she started digging through her purse and pulled out her phone and showed me her medical history that was typed up in her phone. then she flung back and started seizing. i immediately dove down to hold her head so it wouldn't be repeatedly hitting the ground. when she stopped seizing she rose up quickly and started convulsing again and after a few minutes of monitoring her the EMT's showed up and took over as i explained what had happened and what i had done. i then went on my way and left with such a massive adrenaline rush! this experience reminded me of how badly i want to be a nurse. then later i went to FHE and played some games and went home to help Roch study for her CNA class.
So all in all today was a fantastic day filled with happiness! i had the chance to save someone's life. nothing can beat that feeling! i know that my Heavenly Father is well pleased with me and i know that i was meant to be there at that exact time to help out one of his children. i am so blessed to have what i have and know what i know. Today was a reminder of that!
