code white

I just want to share an interesting incident I had tonight at work. This in English because I am using my work computer and I cannot type it in korean. So please bear with me if its too difficult or too technical to understand.
Tonight I went into work with the same attitude and mind set. Expecting the expected and truly hoping it to be a "good" night. However, as soon as I arrived I was hit with a primary C-section delivery in the OR. The mother had no history of risk factors and I thought to myself that this was gonna be just another cesarian delivery with no problems. And I was wrong. I had one of the worst night in my life at work.
As soon as my patients baby delivered, the baby was not so responsive. The body was very limp and flaccid with a dusky color. I thought to myself, all I need to do is give positive pressure ventilation and I can revive this baby. I have done this a thousand times. Well I was wrong. I had the respiratory therapist next to me and we gave 100% oxyen for at least 5 minutes. The baby's heart rate was remarkable but there was no respiration. I started to panic inside but I could not show it. No one can show any signs of panic in the operation room because it is a potential liability issue (law suit). So, I had to maintain my "cool and confident" behavior in front of the parents and I had to revive this dying baby with no respiration. Soon I had other nurses come to help and code white was called. Code white is same as code blue, except it is used for infants. The baby was intubated twice because the first time was a failure. I started to get desperate and we were doing everything we could in our human power to save this baby.
Ten minutes passed by and still nothing and no respirations. I thought to myself that I cannot allow this baby to die in my own hands tonight. My body was covered in sweat from the continuous CPR and the layers of scrubs I was wearing...I couldnt imagine what the parents were going through. The only next source was God. I started to pray to myself over and over with a smile but inside I was anxious and terrified imaging the worst outcome. I even tried to negotiate with God because I was so desperate. He was the only one who could save this baby at this point.
Twenty minutes went by and I had to transfer this baby to the nursery. Then finally the baby started pinking up and started to breathe on his own. Thank you God. After couple of hours of recovery, the baby was able to go bond with his mother.
Although we were able to do everything we could with our humanly powers, I believe that God heard my prayers tonight. I want to thank our God for everything He has given me. Although, I am a very rebellious daughter, a sinner, or whatever you want to call it I know in my heart that He is always there. I am also very thankful for my exciting career. I am not trying to brag, but every day that I go to work, there is a tremendous challenge waiting for me and I find myself praying because there is always something new and crazy.
God bless ~

Dear Jane
Thank you for shareing a special and instructive tesimony which we can apply to our spiritual life.
God gave you an opportunity to experience His authority of life in that traumatic situation, I believe. Thank you for your desperate efforts to save a life, the new born baby. Yes, life is so precious no matter who it is. That's why Jesus died for. Also, I really admire you for an ardent passion for saving life not only a nurse, but also as a Christian. My prayer is that you are to love all the people around you with the love of Jesus as you cared the baby. Prasie the Lord who died for you and all of us.
Dear Jane
Blue code has already been called by Jesus Christ two thousand years ago.
Now we are in that situation.
God bless you.

Thank you for your testimony, Jane.
It is a very inspiring story and I am sure God was very pleased and so was the mother.
But I think God was more pleased about the changes in you in the recent years--how you were when you first came to our church, and the transformation that took place both for you and Robert. We are just as pleased and thankful to witness the change. Even though many such transformations had happened in our church in the past 12 years for most of its members, yours is definitely one of the best. We all thank God for sending you to our church, and I personally thank you for being part of the family. God bless.

What a testimony. I think we can easily miss God's presence and His working when we don't pray.
There is no such thing as luck or coincidence.
I think God is smiling at you, Jane.
Thank you for your caring heart for little ones and also sharing your experience.
