mysecretlife's blog post - Good flight.

Had a flight today that I just knew going into was going to be a first. We went to a hospital to pick up this 22yo in premature labor. She spoke NO english. I was thinking oh crap. I don't want to be delivering no babies today or any other day at 28wks. When I assessed her I had to check her belly and I felt a contraction and the baby kicking. That to me is just so neat. Anyway, we explained things the best we could through an interpreter and loaded her and tok off. I was very happy that she seemed to remain comfortable and even slept through part of the flight. I was even happier to introduce her to the nurses at Norton's in Louisville, KY. Baby still where he belonged.

I was nervous about this trip but I am sure she was to. Her hands were shaking bad when she signed the spanish consent form. Not knowing what was going on and not being able to understand the ppl taking you away from your family. No telling what all was going through her mind.

Flying back was very pretty. The colors of fall and the visibility today was awesome. About 40 miles. I still think "man I get payed to do this" at times. The other night now was a different story. We flew nonstop from 11:00 PM til almost noon the next day stopping only for fuel. I was dead dog tired when I got home.

Anyway, if it was all just peachy you would soon loose appreciation for the good times.

You all take care and have a good evening.
