Band Camp!

This past week I volunteered as the nurse at Josiah's band camp. It was really fun, and sometimes dramatic! I am pretty much amazing! haha just kidding! It was kind of nice being there as a nurse. I got to use some of my skills. Although sometimes I really wanted to strangle the kids.

Literally, some of the kids would come in because they had bug bites all over their legs. Was I supposed to snap my fingers and make them go away? I have bug bites too. Then a lot of kids were nauseous and there were a lot of twisted ankles.

I had one girl come in on my last night who said that the tympani cart (that had the chimes on it too) rolled over her foot. She heard a crunching sound and it was hurting bad enough when she walked that it made her cry. I sat her up on my table and and it was swollen and bruised. When I touch it she cried out and pulled away. All the classic signs of a break. Oh goody for me. So after a lot of debate between me, the directors, her mom, and the other chaperones, we decided to call the squad and get her to the hospital for an xray. Mr McNutt (the head band director) didn't believe it was broken, but in my professional opinion it was a high possibility. Well Mr McNutt was correct. It was a "bad bone bruise". BUT I was right in the end because it was important that she get it xrayed before she put any pressure on it otherwise it could have required surgery.

Any way, Friday was their preview and I got some pictures of Josiah:

Sorry these are the wrong way I don't know how to rotate them.

I am so proud of him. He looked really good out there!!! Oh and on our way there I got a call from the Mount Carmel West Emergency Department giving me an interview. It was today at 9 am and it was a panel of four people. They were nice. I think I did okay. It wasn't my best but it's up to them now and it's in the Lord's Hands, (as it has been this whole time). Thanks for all your prayers!

God Bless!
