Yesterday was the final test for me to become an official Paramedic. I took the written part of the National Registry Exam on Monday and found out I had passed on Tuesday. Yesterday was the National Registry skills exam. We had 12 stations that we had to pass, Infant intubation and IO, Adult intubation, with 2 different ventilation tubes, IV and med administration, a cardiac dynamic, a cardiac static, a trauma patient, 2 oral stations, and a basic station which was backboarding a patient and securing him to the back board. Well I passed on the first try on all stations and all I could do is cry with relief and happiness. This has been one of the most trying times for all of us but with the Lord's help, we made it through. All 5 of us that tested for medic passed on our first try so we went to Applebee's to celebrate our triumph. What an awesome day!!!
Out of the 10 of us that started the Paramedic Program there were 5 of us that went on our Interships and finished the entire program. From left to right, Jessica Withers, Lacy Reese, Jason McGarry, Brandon Earl, and me in the back. Jessica and I went to Great Falls together and we had an awesome time together. Jessica has taken and passed the written. Lacy went to Great Falls as soon as I came home. She takes the written exam tomorrow. Jason and Brandon went to Atlanta GA. Jason has taken and passed the written and Brandon will test in a week of so.

WOW, congratulations!!! That is so awesome, and I totally knew you could do it. Geez, part of me wishes we still lived in Rexburg--I'd feel safe knowing that you were a paramedic to help us in any emergency! Biggest hugs to you, sweet mama. You're amazing.
