I have earned an Angel

Well, this past week at work was a whopper! I had two very intense days with all sorts of patients. I am here to tell you about one. It is always hard to lose a loved one but I think it is the hardest to sit at the bedside never knowing when that life changing moment might happen. I have a sweet sweet family that is living this nightmare right now. The have a loved one who has had a massive stroke and they are living one minute at a time. It is emotionally intense in this room and I have just tried to comfort them anyway possible. Friday afternoon the daughter-in-law gave me a little bag with an Nurse Guardian Angel pin in it. I was thrilled because this is the first for me and also it is always nice to have a family recognize you for going a little over the call.
So here is my first earned Angel.
