Here's another photo from my trip this weekend. It was absolutely beautiful! :)

"Nurse, get
someone from respiratory therapy down here right now! She needs a nebulizer
treatment stat!" The doctor ordered firmly. "Get blood and O² sats!"
He barked urgently.
"You got it!"
She answered and ran out the door.When the nurse came back into the room the doctor told her, "Call a pulmonologist and get him down here ASAP." She rushed back out and another nurse came in the door at a run.
She was busily trying to put a pulse-ox on the baby but couldn't get a reading. She finally managed a count on the foot. "Reading is seventy-four Dr. Dooley." She informed him. She took Tiffany's blood pressure and pulse and wrote it down on a clipboard. "Do you need anything else? I have to go back down to four for a spinal."
"Macy, call x-ray and let's get some film on her chest." The doctor said when the first nurse came back into the room, ignoring the other woman's question. He would dress-her-down later for her lack of professionalism in an emergency. A patient couldn't be left when they were in respiratory distress! "Julie, if you can't get an IV going call someone down from NICU to find a good vein. We'll also need a blood draw."
"I didn't get your name, sorry." The doctor apologized as he turned his gray-eyed gaze toward Stacy. He took in a breath when he got his first look at the young mother.
"I'm Stacy Masterson and this is Tiffany Suzanne, but I call her Tiffy Sue for short." She'd been standing silently by, trying to make sense of all that was going on around her and the baby. She'd never been so terrified in her life and she was having trouble dealing with it.
"Do you need something to calm you down, ma'am?" He asked.
"No, I'll be alright. I'm just worried about my daughter."
