Ally went to get her physical for kindergarten, she was a little scared to get shots but I was just trying to convince her that she needed them to go to school…
So I take her in and Kassandra (the nurse) does all the regular stuff, Blood Pressure, heart rate temperature, etc… Ally’s heart rate was little high but she thinks it’s the anxiety of getting the shots…
So Dr. Tanios comes in and does the check up and everything is fine… so the nurse comes in and to get all the stuff ready for shots and Ally says “no shots?” We kind of ignored her and changed the subject…
So in she comes with shots… Ally freaks out a little ( OK she was screaming) but no tears… she was a trooper… I get her dress and we are picking out stickers for her and her brothers. Ally says “Mommy my tummy hurts” I say ” I am sorry honey” I looked-up and she hits her head on the wall…I say “Ally why did you do that” The next thing I know she is pale as a piece of paper and all around her mouth is purple and blue and she already had white around her mouth… I thought she was going into convulsions, having an allergic reaction to the shots… SHE PASSED OUT!!! I started screaming bloody murder! “Help ME, OH MY GOD HELP ME!!” “Dr. Tanios, Kassandra help me…” (Hysterical, mind you) It seemed like hours but within a few seconds there were 2 nurses and Dr. Tanios came in the room… I had layied her on the ground… she was still purple and white… She came to and I was still pretty shaken but I had to acted as if everything was OK for Ally’s sake… so they put her on Oxygen and keep her for about 15-20 minutes…
I have never felt so helpless in my entire life… I just started screaming… So the Dr. says that she is going to be prone to passing out and from now on we have to lay her down for shots, blood, etc… They say they see this all the time in teenagers, but never in a four year… They also said she can’t stand in one place for a period of time because she can pass out too…
I knew having one girl was going to be DRAMA but who knew this much DRAMA?!
She is alright… I was OK until I told my husband then I really freaked!!!
Well there is my interesting 4 year old to kindergarten story…
