I finished the PALS course and passed. PALS is Pediatric Advanced Life Support.
After class I went to ICU and helped Heidi with two patients. One came in with a blood sugar of 1145 (normal is 80-100) and all of her labs were really off. The other was a patient from surgery on the vent. He was so malnourished it is questionable how well he will heal.
Anna was only to work until 7PM Friday, but everyone had so much work that no one left until 9:30PM.
Josh bought an old 22 to dispatch the raiding animals from our garden. I bought a trap, so maybe we can get the critters. They have destroyed a number of Elon's melons and tomatoes and my tomatoes, too. Josh cleaned and oiled everything, and we went out to see if it would shot. Sure enough it did; pretty well, too, for only $86.
There are some of the gourds down at the creek that are probably nearly 30 feet off the ground. We can't tell for sure until later fall.
I still have a few beets in the ground. Our fall green bean crop is up about 4 inches. They sure come up fast this time of the year, since the ground is warm.
It is nice and cool today only in the 70's.

ReplyDeleteYou aced that PALS exam! :-)
ReplyDeleteI try to get Vicky, Anna, or Josh to cook it, but no one will. Choco and Sparky are poor cooks, and if I cook it, I think no one will eat it.
