This is a hard blog entry to write cause I don't have words that seem creative or good enough to write to explain my day. It started with the alarm going off at 0600. Then it's off to breakfast. A little nervous about the first day. But everything turns out great. We have morning devos with the nurses. Then the ward has devos that the patients participate in as well. So in America as a nurse our focus is getting our work done and if there is time build relationships. Here it's all one. You are doing a dressing change while comforting needs. The highlight of my day came at the end of the shift. We take the pt's outside for some fresh air. Well it started raining so we ran back in and decided to go to Deck 7 well once up there we realized they were working on the deck so then we sat in the hall. One of the pt's said "I will read you a story from the bible." "Let's pray" so we prayed, "Let's sing", so we sang. Then he read us the story of Abraham it was so beautiful. Then we sang "Father Abraham" we found out turning pt's onboard a moving vessel is not smart. One pt nearly fell, thanks to some quick reflexes on my part he didn't. It was such a wonderful day with lots of very cute babies to love on :)
Definitely eveything is focused on the Lord and showing the patients the love of Jesus!!!
