what a long scary day. we spent the entire day at the hospital yesterday after amber had a major reaction to either her breakfast or the chickenpox vaccinations at the family doctor's office.
she swelled up so fast and so much that the paramedics were called to drive us over in the ambulance. it took 5 medics to try to hold her down and unsuccessfully get an IV into her. she's small but feisty. our epi pen also failed to work for us, damn them!
lucky the medics had their stuff together and knew what to do. the 'before shot' of the swelling on her lip and eyes are nowhere near as bad as it got when the guys arrived. she almost had a double chin of swollen neck area, ears, nose, lips, eyes. luckily it came down later in the afternoon and she was able to pass out and get some rest. we're on the 36 hour watch for any reoccurrence but crossing our fingers. we had a bit of another scary flare up this morning but gave her the dosage from the docs a bit earlier than scheduled and it eventually came down. sleep tight baby. i feel like I've been in Children's Emergency a few too many times.
