'i thought something was fishy'

THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH

me once or twice a day on the phone

and acacia and her mom 24/7

CarePages Update
from acacia's mom

It is unbelievable if you saw her the last two days, you would not think it was the same patient. Acacia developed a very serious allergic reaction to two medicines not interacting well. It actually started at the beginning of the week, and became progressively worse. Each time she would suddenly complain of being on fire, and her chest would hurt and she would be numb all over. I would ask what did you give her for medicines, I think she is having a reaction to something. Each time the nurses would say oh she can't have a reaction now it would of shown up right away. She has been on the same meds since the beginning. I would argue that in Acacia's case she "develops" allergic reactions over time. They would say that is not possible. And it would be dropped.

Yesterday I walked in to find Acacia in the chair all blotchy red, hysterical without noise, writing she felt like she was on fire. She had been calling the nurse with the call button but no one answered. Of course the nurse complained she was overworked with the two patients.. She also had chest pain, I called for the nurse who in a very condescending tone told Acacia "you're fine you are just upset: Well, I told her my daughter does not cry or complain get a doctor, she came back a little while later and said they have other emergencies,,,,
so the next person who walked by I grabbed by her coat, she was shocked and told me she wasn't "on" yet, I told her I didn't care get help NOW, the charge nurse came in and immediately said you're right it is a reaction to something it is definitely not anxiety. Then the doctors showed up and it took them a few hours to figure it out.

'excellent'

i pulled more teeth this morning
