One of my favorite people to hang out with, passed away last Sunday! My patient "JD" has put up a long good fight for the last 15 years. I am so glad that I got to work with him and get to know him and become a part of his family. It has been a difficult thing for a lot of people. Bub, Hailey, and I went to JD's viewing. I can't remember if I have been to a viewing ever before but I got really nervous. The last time I saw JD he was doing great, and then I received a phone call from one of my fellow nurses telling me that JD was now at LRH on life support until all family could say their goodbyes. I was in Utah county when I received the call so I did not have a chance to go and see him until his viewing. He looked great, and at peace! I was able to talk at his funeral services and all I can say is, "JD you are loved by many and have inspired us all. Love ya bud! It will be an amazing day when we all get to see you again and you will be able to talk, and walk, and play football again."
So now, I am on the such for a job! I know nurses are in demand everywhere but it seems like Logan is overflowing with them. I hate job searching!!! So for now, I am making dinner every night and getting to spend a lot of time with Hailey, that is a plus!
