Question

Working Christmas Day

    It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25．I was a nurse     that day, sighing about having to work on Christmas．Just then five bodies showed up at my      ，a pale woman and four small children．

    “Are you all     ? ” I asked doubtfully．

    “Yes．”the woman said     and lowered her head．

    But when it came to the     of their problems，things got a little strange．Two of the chlidren had headaches,     weren’t accompanied by the normal symptoms of being ill．Two children had earaches，but only one could tell me which ear was     ．The mother complained of a     but seemed to work to produce it．

    “It may be a little while      a doctor sees you．” I explained．

    “Take your time；it’s warm here．”She      ．

    Whne they were waiting，I checked the chart．They had no     —they were homeless．The waiting room was warm．I looked out at the     by the Christmas tree．The youngest one was saying     to her mother．The oldest one was looking at the Christmas tree．

    I went back to the nurses’ station and     the homeless family in the waiting room．The nurses，complaining about the working Christmas，began to feel pity for a family just trying to get     on Christmas．The team went into action，as we do when there’s a     emergency, but this was a Christmas emergency．

    We     a simple dinner for our Christmas guests in the hospital cafeteria．They needed     ，so we collected from different departments candies and other things    that could be presents．

As the family walked to the door to leave，the four-year-old came running     , gave me a hug and whispered，” Thanks for being our angel today．”
