An Accident.
June 23, 2008A few weeks ago my wife, an RN, had an accident at work.
She was giving a shot when she accidentally stuck the needle through her patient’s arm, and into her own hand. Yes, that’s right, stuck with a dirty needle.
In the nursing field this is not a good thing. Both the nurse and the patient go for immediate blood tests—looking for various diseases in both the nurse and the patient that might be passed from one to the other such as HIV, Hepatitis, STDs, etc. Luckily for my wife, her patient was an 80 year old lady in pretty good health except for diabetes.
However, there was some unexpected news. When the doctor was explaining my wife’s blood test results he asked, “Did you know you were pregnant?”
“What?”
“Congratulations, you’re pregnant!”
“Are you kidding?”
“No kidding, Mrs. Summers, you’re pregnant.”
So, that’s the accident; and let me tell you, it was a big one! But accidents are often blessings in disguise. And so we are praising the Lord for this one.
PS: She is more than 12 weeks along and is due January 4th…, but I’m pushing for December 31st for tax purposes! January 7th would be okay too.
