Allergic reaction to his shots

Dash is alright now but boy did we have an event with him tonight. He and I went to go get our allergy shots. We used the stairs to exit and the door locks behind us. He said then...(this is 30 minutes after shots we sit in office), Mom I want a squirt (albutral) so we are locked out. I stand keeping a watch as he assures me "I'm alright"...

We get home and I begin setting supper on the table.
Dash asked me to sign a paper for school. My hands busy he was asked to wait a moment. HE WENT ballistic! His face is red, he is talking strange, snorting heavily. He is angry cause I looked at him. Then he (yes Dash) leaves the dinner table. If any of you know Dash you'll understand. He went to his room. " I just want to go to sleep mom"
Panic!
As we race this kid "I did not know" to the car he is fighting it the whole way to the point that daddy man said I'll carry you to the car if you do not stop the fit. HE did not want to be looked at.

I got him back to the allergist thinking it better than the ER. They got him right back to the urgent care room. A shot of epinephrine, oxygen, antihistamine, breathing treatment and then one and a half steroid pills. My boy is back. He said "oh this feels better" after the shot.

So he is fine. Daddy man let him go to the friends house, after my insistence he is going for him to bring him home. Now a 10 year old on major speed.

Breathing.
blessed

Annette said...: I'm glad Mr. Dash is doing better, what a scary thing to go through..poor little guy just didnt understand it and that made it harder on him as well, I know as a parent how that feels, When my son had that MRSA and had to have I.V. Vanco (a real strong antibiotic) and he had an reaction to it, he got what they call "Red man syndrome" his face turned fire red and had a hard time breathing, man I yelled out in the hall, I want a nurse STAT!! he was so scared, and so was I, for a moment, but I knew I had a great nurse taking care of him, and I just stood there and prayed....
I liked the verse Isaiah 11:6, so so very true and bless Miss Dove...she's such a sweet soul, like you, and your post on "Clean Hands" really hit home with me tonight, made me get teary eyed...and I know thats GOD speaking to me.

I LOVE YOU
Hugs to all~; September 30, 2010 at 8:52 PM

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
Return with Honor
The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
"HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
“Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
"O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
"No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
