Ugh poor everyone! I can’t imagine how horrifying that must have been.
I had a similar experience at the er when Jacob had his first peanut reaction. Only time I’ve ever been ushered straight in at an er is when I put a knife through my finger. Apparently spurting blood is more important than children who can’t breathe?

Wow Heather…this is really scary! Glad to hear she’s doing better, though. I’ll keep y’all in my thoughts.

I’m so relieved to hear that she’s alright! How scary and shame on them for not seeing her immediately! My mom used to work for Cigna…no love lost there! She had problems with getting all her benefits and she was an employee! They are not know for their stellar customer service.

I hope she has continued to improve and is not giving you any more scares!

Wow! The trauma center brings about its own brand of trauma. I really am so glad that Ellie is ok. Scary scary thing when the kids are sick and we don’t know why. Moms are so great, aren’t they. Mine has come through for so many times.

Garsh Heather! That’s NUTS! Sorry it was so traumatic! If you EVER need to drop off your boys – just do it. Call on your way-forget prior arrangements! Standing invite!

Ohh, Heather, that’s terrifying! Wow, I can’t imagine dealing with that kind of emergency with two extra kids in tow. You are one tough mama.

Poor little critter! Poor you. Thank goodness whatever it was seemed to resolve but that kinda leaves you with unanswered questions. Hope she is better and back to normal.

I am so glad it turned out well. Just one more piece of evidence for the “trust your gut” school of parenting!

Heather,
This same thing happened to #3 when she was a baby, but no tub. She stopped breathing while I was waiting on an ambulance and we had to do rescue breathing. It was a febral seizure. When they decided to do the spinal tap, I nearly passed out. But 24 hours later, she was fine and hasn’t had another attack since.

Why does it seem when it rains, it pours?
