Spent the morning in an infant CPR class. The way the plastic crinkles when you inflate their little 'lungs' is horrible. As was the description of what the rib ligaments tearing free would sound like if we ever had to do the chest compressions for real. When we all looked horrified, the instructor reminded us that the dead feel no pain, and dead was what our fake infants would be if they were real and we fluttered and moaned instead of getting to work. Teaching preschool can be fraught with many things. Today it was the potential scenario of breaking a child's ribs to save their life. Please God, let it never happen.
Meanwhile, I've made it to Competency 21 in the study guide. Just eleven more to go!
