[Rot 911]

To start with, I would much rather be the ill or injured person than watching someone I love being ill or injured.

So as I posted in the thread about what you’re grilling for memorial day. I grilled pork steaks and we had corn on the cob and watermelon. Our daughter brought over homemade peanut butter cookies with oats in them. My wife, who up to this point, has never been allergic to anything, had a couple of bites of one of the cookies. 20 minutes later, she goes into anaphylactic shock. While I have never personally seen that, I recognized it immediately. I gave her a couple of benadryls and got her in the car and off to the hospital. Fortunately, the hospital is only about 10 minutes from our house. Into the emergency room we go. Not too busy for early evening and we get right in. By this time my wife is also displaying a panic attack and hallucinating. They immediately get an IV started and pump her full of steroids and liquid Benadryl. After about three hours she was finally back to normal. And this morning we are able to joke with our daughter about trying to collect her inheritance early. But it was really painful to watch my wife suffer and not able to do anything but watch and hold her hand.

This morning she remembers a bit of last night, but not much. Probably not a bad thing.

Going to contact our Doctor this morning and get prescribed an EpiPen. Hopefully we never have to use it.
