Nurse!! -- Sunday, June 27, 2010

Today for church I was supposed to watch and help out in Jr. Church but just after it started Shae-lynn came in to tell her mom (who was leading songs and could not be interrupted at the time) that Shane (age 15) had a bloody nose that he sould not get to stop.

I went to the van where he was laying down to help him. I pinched his nose and made him sit up and lean forward and then explained to him why he should not lay down when his nose was bleeding -- blood in the stomach makes you vomit (to which his mom said that was the reason he gets an upset stomach after every nose bleed).

I had him pinch his nose for ten minutes but it was still gushing blood. We had to pinch his nose for the remainder of the church service (about an hour) before it finally stopped bleeding.
