Had An Allergic Reaction Tonight

Good Evening Everyone -



I could use your prayers. This morning (Friday) I put Frontline flea drops on Java. About 30 mintues later I started to get an allergic reaction....covered with hives and a tight chest. I was home alone with the girls and grandma. I took two Benadryl and about 30 more mintues passed and it was just getting worse. I called Marsi at work and told her I was going to call 911. So I had to call 911. The girls were so good while the paramedics/firefighters were here. They took me to the hospital right away. One of the firefighters stayed with the girls until Marsi got home.



Anyway, I am still feeling the effects of all the medication that thy gave me in the ambulance and ER. I slept most of the day and I am getting ready to head back again. Please pray that I will start feeling better. It usually takes a couple of days. The ER doctor gave me about 6 different medicatoins that he wants me to take over the next two weeks, including 2-4 Benadryl every four hours for the next 4 days..that is going to make me tired as well. So anyway, please pray for me.



It was nice when the paramedics got there....One of them was a guy I knew. I taught him when he was in paramedic school about 4 years ago. Small world...it was nice having a familar face there since I really don't know whole lot of people here.



Anyway, soory this got to be so long....but Please pray!!



God Bless Y'All
