Day 4 - Wednesday Clinic

Clinic today was great! Alisa was my hero when she suctioned some yellow berry out of this little 2 year old boy's nose. We had to hold him down because he was so squirmy - poor little guy, but all better now. The most moving moment was crying with Gracie, who considers John Bowman (the man who died last week of cancer) her brother. She has such a loving heart; it was hard to see her hurting so much.

In charting on some patients this morning, I signed, "M.Helfrick, RN" for the first time. Really, it's not a big deal, but to me, it was! It feels SO great because I know this is what God has called me to. Still, there's much to know and practice. Yet, I am OH SO THANKFUL to be at this place. That is - both Helene in the literal sense, but also at this place in life. I'm quite tired and have felt weak today - in a S L O W mo. type of way. I think my body is still adjusting. I'm pretty humbled by the things I'm seeing and learning in the clinic. With God's help, I'm moving forward and getting a little better each day.
