I got in a situation today where I had to give a two week old preemie resuscitation. Luckily I got it breathing again- hopefully fast enough to not cause damage- its hard for me to tell it seemed like hours.
I always like the idea of being there for someone when they need help- but this one was too overwhelming without having the proper training. I still feel bad that I was treating it the way I would have treated a lamb-and so out of my league.
I should be happy if not elated it all turned out well but.........
I'm still all shook up- and I am not even sure why
The kid is going to be fine- I have been told by several people who should know that my ineptness did not damage the kid- I was much better than nothing.
