Five Year Old Fights for Life

[traumagirl125]

There are a few minor errors in the article but you get the picture. But I must say this is one of the most heart wrenching codes I have ever been involved in.

Here's the link to about the only article I can find so far:

That SUCKS I hate working Codes on any child.

 

[MMiz]

That's a tough one. I've only worked one ped code, and I'll never forget it.

I think we feel that the little ones should never have through so much pain. :sad:

How are you doing?

It's a blessing that the organs were donated, and I'm sure there are a couple happy families right now. It's amazing how such a devastating situation can have a silver lining.

My sympathies Traumagirl.

Very tragic, but hopefully the donated organs will save many others. That's the only good that can come from this terrible tragedy.

Amen to that. My thoughts immediately turned to my own son and boyfriends children...
That is so scary.

Sorry to hear of that type of call, I can empathize with you. I worked an infant abuse last week, and now have to go to the D.A give a deposition tomorrow.

Hang in there, I wish I could say these things get easier.. but they don't. Hope you are doing okay..

pediatric codes are the worst.

What can a person say? I hope you are doing alright and I'll say a prayer for all concerned; I'm so sorry for everyone...
