Code Blue

After showering and starting in on breakfast, that was the first thing that happened this morning. A call over the radio from the ER about a code blue. We all rushed down to the hospital. But we don't really know how long she was dead before arriving to the ER. Mark was performing chest compressions. Mackenzie took over. I grabbed an ultrasound to make sure there was no cardiac activity. There wasn't. The day went on. I actually haven't thought about it again until now. She had many people there who obviously loved her. We prayed at the end of code and so did the family. Honestly, there was nothing else we could do but it reminded me that this is the first thing that I personally want to remember to do. Later I saw the coffin being rolled out of another room, I'm guessing with her body inside. Praying for her family and that death never becomes easy for me.
