Today, April 22nd, I am in love. His name is Muto(Me Toe), and he is 9yo. He is the cutest kid ever. He is a malnourished boy in the hospital who would not talk to me but today he asked me to come play and talk c him. He is the only kid who has thrown up at my feet and not repulsed me. Don’t judge me people, no one likes someone puking on their shoes. And even though I am a nurse I do not DO vomit! It was a happy day, I finally cracked him! It made up for the day at the clinic. Which was an 11mo on her deathbed who we could do nothing for, and was basically sent home to die, and she did die that night. It was cleaning the wound of a man who ripped a tendon on his hand, which gave me flashbacks to a man who hit his hand on a rock Friday and we had to squeeze a lot of pus out. I had to cut an abscess on a 3yo’s abdomen, and try to drain it. As well as the daily cleaning of an old man who lives at the clinic. He has a pressure ulcer on his butt the size of a cantaloupe. He has HIV and was suddenly paralyzed, apparently no one moved him and he literally has a wide open wound. We clean it daily, and I touch the bone every time I clean it. Did I mention that I have had the stomach flu since Thursday, so the wounds today just about sent me puking multiple times. But I had to do them today because Ryna is now sick with a fever, and stomach flu, and since I am healing and am only dealing c nausea and diarrhea I volunteered to do the wounds. Please pray for our health! Sorry for the nurse talk, I will keep the pus, blood and vomit talk to a minimum on the blog!
