Reality

Yesterday evening Justin got a wake up call. While sitting at the airport talking to a couple pilots about tips and advice in his flight lessons, he found out what they where there for. He discovered that those pilots work for a medical company that flyes critical needs patients from one town to specialty hospitals and they were waiting for a male from here in Lafayette. Justin just sort of brushed it off since he sees this at least once a week. Little did he know that tonight would be totally different from the others. When he directed the ambulance in and opened the doors he was shocked. On the gurny was a small isollete with a tiny baby no bigger then his hand. He helped load the baby into the jet along with 2 doctors and 3 nurses. He fought back tears as the small little boy cried with all his might but sounded not louder then a kitten. Justin was in awe of how much everyone took control of there position to help this small little baby. Sadly the parents couldnt go with the baby the ambulance driver had said. I keep this baby in my prayers. I really hope he made it to Philadelphia safe and hope that he is able to grow healthy and strong. I pray for his parents. I am sure they, like most parents, hoped for a healthy baby and now have to struggle with their one day old baby being in a completely different state from them and the fear of the unknown. It makes you thankful for what you have and pray that it never happens to you. But now I hope that if my child or family member needs urgent care like that little baby that the medical team will be as caring a professional as that flight team was last night. Justin said he will never forget that small little tiny baby, scared and all alone but with so many around. It just makes you think.
