With today being Christmas Eve, I am humbly beseeching the EMS Gods to be good for the next 40 hours. I want everyone to be safe and healthy for the holidays.

I dont want to tell 80 yr old Grandma that her husband of 60 yrs has no pulse and that it is hopeless, all the while doing CPR and pushing drugs.

I dont want to tell the father of 3, that the accident that his wife was in took the lives of her and thier 3 children.

I dont want to tell the 3 yr old that Mommy isnt ok but I'll keep trying.

I dont want to take any premature babies to higher level of care so that they can die an hour after I get them there.

The next 40 hours are for celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ...not for mourning the death of a loved one.

I dont want anyone to have to remember Christmas as the day they lost everything. So no fires either, please.

Amen and thank you.
