Dave Crawford gave me the full tour.....he took me through every door I desired to go through, and I saw amazing things! Ohhhh, how cool it is to see the amount of energy required to heat, light, cool, pump air, and suck air in a hospital. Dave answered every question I had regarding purification systems and such....what a high! Here are pictures of my experience!
Snowy Night!
From Pavillion, overlooking Dodge St.
Though smaller than most water heaters at home, the place uses only two of these babies to provide the hot water......EXTEMELY EFFICIENT!
This fan circulates the air from all over the hospital....huge and powerful! This air was sucked up from the rooms, and it is getting ready to be purified through ultraviolet light and filters....probably not the best place to hang out! haha!!
The highest point on the building....supposedly, on a clear day, one can see most of Omaha!
This pannel runs the trauma elevator....other ones that look like this also run the service and patient elevators.
I am the type of person that desires to press every button I see....this is why I should NOT be President.......Dave let me press all kinds of stuff. Luckily not this one because if I turned the CPU off, there is always the chance of the elevator crashing into the floor with a person in there...still, the desire to turn it is tempting! haha.
Engine room......I feel like Titantic in the boiler room....."All engines stop, Sir."
It was definitely a blast....I think I am going to ask to go up again sometime....perhaps to see a sunrise in the spring! =D
Happy Family delievers!! "O" "M" "G"..
This was in the doughnut hut, so I tried to spend as much time as possible getting to know the ladies in here....afterwards, I had snacks......I pulled the "I'm weak" card a few times....finally after two snacks and two drinks, the lady said there was no possible way I could be weak....I told her she didn't know me. lol! Also, there was some crazy lady that went off because the Red Cross didn't recycle....she said something like we are all going to burn or something....I quite enjoyed it! I asked her if she powered her lights with a bike or anything....she said that was a negative. haha!
One time I didn't eat breakfast because I didn't want to raise the blood sugar or anything....RIGHT when a bunch of first-time donors came into the room, I began to black out....I tried to be calm (to not freighten the new people!), and I told my nurse what was up, but I was going too fast....when the nurse saw me, she told me to kick. Here is me on this bed kicking like a cheetah, flaying like crazy....I didn't pass out, but I definitely made sure I talked to everyone afterwards and made sure they realized this doesn't usually happen.....haha! Lesson LEARNED! 
Besides giving, I also helped out with reception.....this is the AWESOME Red Cross receptionist! We talked about all of our travels, and when I mentioned Israel, she about jumped she was so excited....she had been there before also! =D Awesome, positive, and amazing woman! I could feel the presence of the Lord all over her!
Sword of the Spirit....Go team! =D
My BEAUTIFUUUL sis, Meggers! 
Doing Laundry with the sis in the early hours of the morning rock! =D The personalities of many of the people make it worth the trip....many of these people are scared of the daylight, people, or both....they make for the best people to talk to! =D

the pic of me makes me look slow, but I was definitely driving at the same time....running late! =D
