In short, because I am completely ready to climb into bed and never get out again, this was definitely one of the worst days ever. Without question, it was my worst worked related day.
I have an infant on my caseload on life support due to physical maltreatment. I don't know what to say other than that... Please think good thoughts for this little cutie pie? I'm so upset I've been perpetually nauseous since I found out. I've unfortunately had to deal with lots of injured kids in my time in child welfare, but never has something like this ever happened on an open case of mine.

Man, that's pretty awful. The nausea is understandable. I think, though, your reaction is an indicator of how good you are at what you do. Sincere caring and compassion are hard to teach.
