good news gone bad quickly

The phone rang tonight around 5 and it was Sarah calling from her cell. She was at work, so the fact that it was her cell made me think she was coming home early. Indeed that was the case, but she said it was under bad circumstances. She said that she had been stuck at work. If you are not around medical professionals, that means she was stuck with a patients needle. It is not uncommon, but it is always scary, and it was the first time it has happened to her in ten years as a nurse. She had just finished giving a patient a shot when she accidentally got herself. She works with addicts, and this patient is a heroin addict which makes this very scary. They tested his blood and at this time there are no concerns that he could have transmitted anything to her. Nonetheless, we are both a bit shaken up. Please keep her in your prayers as she will probably need to be tested again later on. In addition, please remember the countless patients of hers who are HIV positive and don't have the love and support that she does.
