day 193/194

Yesterday after class I worked out then went home with the intention of sleep. But, as soon as I started to fall asleep Krystel called me and said that she had inhaled Chlorine fumes (she works at a pool) and was going to go to Care Now. So I ended up driving her because she felt dizzy and light headed. So we got to Care Now (Who I despise....but more on that later) and they took her right back. After sitting back there for a while a doctor came in and gave her a shot of benadryl and a shot of a steroid. Than they waited 15 minutes (which is not long enough) and decided to give her an Epi shot. For those not down with drugs, that is WAY WAY WAYYYY to much medicine for a little girl like her at one time. So then she started shaking uncontrollably, breathing heavy and her BP and HR shot through the roof. So after being there for close to 3 hours they decided that it wasnt working and called the EMS to take her to the hospital. When we got to the ER and they found out how much meds she had been given they decided to just watch her until everything stabilized, and told her there was really nothing that could be done for the chlorine except drink lots of water. Moral of the story is don't EVER go to care now! They have no idea what they are doing/no bed-side manner.

Than today I have been doing classwork all day. It is so un-motivating to have to do school work in the summer, but in the long run I'll be glad I got it over with.

peace.
