This week's unit is Cardiovascular, and our teacher was talking about heart transplants. We were shocked to know that in the U.S. we leave the "old" heart in the chest cavity in a heart transplant. It is not removed. We then decided that these patients had it better b/c they could say "I love you with all of my heartS" They had more love to give. Well, for those of you who don't know, our teacher basically knows everything there is to know about hearts, and then some. We learned some "and then some" today.
Apparently there is a right and wrong way to give a hug. Our teacher demonstrated today the proper way to give a hug. (Not like the air hug you do with kids for legal reasons, but a real hug). I digress. You are supposed to line up your hearts when giving a hug, so left side of the front chest to the other person's heart so that the person really knows you love them. I've never heard of this before, but it is a neat way to think about it.
The day is hardly over, but I am pretty sure it will consist of reading. I started Enrique's Journey yesterday for our Peds class, and have had a hard time putting it down. It is very good, but also very graphic.
Pretty good so far.
Another reason it was a good day.
