"High Price to Pay"

"High Price to Pay"
We got five positive Ebola results back last night. Four of those patients were at the same funeral. A fellow nurse looked at me at shift change this am and said, "That is a high price to pay," in regards to attending a funeral:'-(
Thank you for praying for the people of West Africa. Please continue to pray for them. This disease...is awful. It is a terrible way to die. No one should die alone...but no one can stay in the high risk zone long. Our sickest lady is labouring to breathe. I stayed with her about 20 minutes this am after we gave meds. Her flesh is on fire-clearly evident with two gloves. I prayed over her and with her--I don't know how much se understood, she is so close to death. I wanted to stay with her longer but we were pushing an hour thirty in the heat of day and still had vitals to communicate to a nurse across the fence. No paper leaves the ETC, everything is incinerated. You take vitals on a sheet and the nurse outside has a sheet too which vitals are transferred orally to. It is time-consuming with the many language barriers because we are all from different places.

Please, please, keep praying for this disease to come to an end. It is horrific:'-(
