Jude 2

I wanted to ask you guys for special prayer for the nurses on my labor & delivery unit. We have had 4 intrauterine fetal demises the last few days. Several have been 35 weeks or so, and one was only 19 weeks. While we know that this is a part of our jobs, we still take it very hard. One of my nurses has taken care of 3 of these patients. Today I and the manager helped her, we took care of the baby. This was such a sweet, sweet couple. They had a 6 year old boy. We all shed a lot of tears today. So, if you guys could, just send some words of prayer up for my nurses, especially Amanda H. who has taken care of 3 of these ladies.

Love you guys,
Jinjer

prayer is happening, and continues.

I'm praying for these very special people and for the families they care for.

When I arrived at work this morning I discovered that we had 2 more demises, twins. I am praying about having a debriefing session of sorts to help everyone with their feelings. I want to do it in a way that is professional, but that the Lord will comfort all of us. Thanks for m[/color]ore prayers.

Isn't it amazing, Jinjer, that God has placed you in your position at such a crucial time, to be the arms, hands, and voice of Christ to these nurses who are dealing with such a horrific situation. Prayers for the grieving parents and the hurting nurses, and for you as you minister to them.

I have questioned my decision to stay at this job for several months. It is the most stressful job I have every encountered. However, over the last month I have felt more at "home" and comfortable even in the big challenges. The demises before this last one, I and my manager helped the delivery nurse and took care of the baby. We all just cried and hugged the parents and each other. My manager and I bathed and dressed the baby for the parents to see. We didn't have any large baby clothes or booties on the unit. So, I went down and bought something at the gift shop. We needed booties because the skin on his little feet was coming off already. He was so beautiful. I was glad that I had stayed and help out. The couple did not have a home church, so I found a Baptist minister, at their request, that came right away. He was sweet and comforting to folks he didn't know. I am thanking God for where I am and am going to be more patient with where he wants me to go.

Thanks for the prayers.
