You know when you are practicing CPR on those plastic dummies, and you think that your never actually gonna do this on a real person. Well, that's what I thought anyways, until this last week when one of my patients had a cardiac arrest in the middle of the night! Thankfully I had one of my colleges there with me, when it happened quite unexpectedly. I called for an ambulance and we started CPR while waiting for them to show up, which was less than 10 minutes. An hour later I had to call the family and tell them he didn't make it. Its one of those nights you hope you don't have to experience again, but that teaches you a lot about how you handle hard situations. And I'm thankful it was a patient who had lived a very long and full life. Hoping he's with the Lord now.

The last couple of days I've been filling in some recipes in my awesome homemade cook book (made by my mom) in order to make some yummy stuff in s.e. Asia in the future. My favorites so far in there are nan bread, chocolate chip cookies and American pancakes. But there are lots and lots of empty pages still, and I don't want to be dragging a whole lot of empty writing paper across the world, so if you would like to share one of your favorites, I'd be happy to receive them :) Baking, cooking, yogurt making...whatever!

Made it home to good ol Norway tonight! For once everything went exactly as planned, nothing was delayed and my bag arrived on the same flight as me :) I applaud the germans for excellent directions given on their trains and busses and in their stations, which helps a lot for a poor norwegian with no sense of direction what so ever! Thank you A&E for an awesome week!! Miss you already :)
