procedures

This is my very last week in the NICU. THANK GOODNESS. I feel like I am just barely surviving this month... last week had its exciting moments. I successfully intubated my first preemie baby! I'm 1/3 now. I also put in a UVC (umbilical venous catheter). And... did a spinal tap, that looked like a champagne tap but microscopically had 83 red blood cells. I suppose that's one of the few things that I've enjoyed about my NICU rotation... the procedures are kinda cool. Especially when you get them successfully.

Yasmin was in town this past week! We had a Reunion at Le Lan, where we enjoyed exquisitely prepared food. My only criticism is TOO MUCH COCONUT. It was just like old times, except even more special now that we don't have the luxury of hanging out all that often.
