93

this is the picture of fury. let me explain. yet ANOTHER trip to the ER. only this time, as my baby is fighting for air, it takes them two hours TWO HOURS to get us back. another THIRTY MINUTES to be seen. i said to them "we're here for exactly this ALL THE TIME. they ALWAYS start with albuterol. i HAVE albuterol IN MY PURSE RIGHT NOW, WITH THE NEBULIZER. CAN I PLEASE JUST GIVE IT TO HER WHILE WE WAIT?!?!?!" (the little black case kaia's holding is the nebulizer kit) to which they replied that i surely could NOT because of some stupid liability law and blah blah blah. i literally said to them "i own her. why on earth can i not help her if you won't?!" another thirty minutes of NOTHING except her gasping for air and me becoming increasingly furious and panicked, and you know what they did? that's right. an effing dose of albuterol. and then sent us on our way.

nearly four hours, a one dollar dose of meds i HAD IN MY PURSE and we'll be paying upwards of 500 smackers. i'm aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaangry. kwim?

I'm glad Kaia is doing well, but sorry you had such a bad experience! I can't imagine how stressful and frustrating that must be for you!
