hey..to all...I have been busy....trying to recover from the worst
dental crisis of my life...!!!... a little drama to keep you smiling...
altho' for me i have not smiled toooo much this week......I have hurt...
but now i can say... i am better.....tomorrow i plan to try to run again..after a week of
not even going near the pavement...i have layed on the couch or moped....
I went back to work yesterday...and took my child to jackson.....
and then came home....got ready for work this morning..and reassured
pregnant women all day........It seems there was a run on preterm labor....
I took care of a lady today...22 ...with her 5th ...yes i did say 5th baby.....
she is probably not going to college....in fact..she didn't finish high school....
she is not going to leave mississippi...probably.....she is not going to marry...she is not
going to have a job...and she is not going to have much money......and i wish that she could
see for herself that life could be better....i want someone to tell her...that she CAN move out of this............she CAN go to college...she CAN have a job...and she CAN get married....she CAN live..... a life that is growing and moving and learning..SHE CAN!............
she has preeclampsia.....and the doc wants her delivered.....i start her iv....give the meds she needs.....he breaks her water.....we start her contractions...she gets an epidural....she is ready...
and i have called the doc to come...and nature will not let her wait...and out peaks a head full of hair....and then eyes and a nose...and hands that are reaching.....and reaching and toes that are curling...and screams that are loud....and the cord is clamped and the doc shows up....and
the exam is finished....and the baby is wrapped and then......................a child is introduced to his mother....and it will never matter to her that her mom is not educated or rich or loved or smart....because the child will love her mom unconditionally......no matter what....just like the one who made her.................and she will know that no matter where she goes or who she becomes...this one...will always love her.....it is there in the dark brown eyes...and the cocoa skin......it is there in the gentle touch...and it is there in the voice.......IT is there......it is love................
thank you God for your love..............................................and thank you for letting me be in the presence of your love...........................................
