GUYS! Our very first covid patient, whom we were SURE was gonna die, was on the vent for over a MONTH, got trached and pegged on Wednesday... I walked past his room at shift change tonight 1/

and saw his eyes were OPEN and he was looking out the window into the hall at the nurses. I waved at him, and this bad ass motherfucker RAISED HIS HAND AND WAVED BACK AT ME 2/

I was SHOCKED. I mean I was ECSTATIC. I started waving ferociously with tears in my eyes and he SMILED at me. My entire nursing career was made today in the form of a wave. I can’t even express to you guys what this meant for me. WE NEEDED THIS WIN.
