Today I held a beating heart,too !

Today was a blessed day since I got to experience holding a beating heart in my hands too (Same Sx as Bonnie) ! An awesome experience in which I hope every single one of us can do in this journey. I was even telling my clinical instructor Mr. Meza that I might faint during the Sx; however, he told me to be positive and get the best experience I can get. I didn't know which Sx I will be going to but I got to go to an open heart surgery (CABG - Coronary Artery Bypass Graft). I held the beating heart gently for a few seconds and then the surgeon told me to feel the lung expanding. The Scrub RN let me felt the Aorta beating and everything was so amazing ! I'm still in cloud nine I guess with this wonderful experience !
