333: modern technology in the medical world

I found out tonight that a dear friend of mine had an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured. She was taken to the emergency room where they did surgery. She lost over half of her blood volume and nearly died. She was in the hospital for two days where she had multiple blood transfusions.

She is healing physically but the loss of the baby will no doubt be something that is forever with her and her husband. My heart is absolutely broken for them. But I am so so thankful that they were able to get the quick care that was needed to save her life. Without the advances of modern technology this could have been a different story. I am so thankful that she is alive and that she is here to bless this world some more.

It's definitely yet another reminder that life can change in an instant.
