scarey

I was helping my son with his homework and the phone rang.

It was the high school calling me about my nephew clayton.

The nurse said that he was having a mild asthma attack and I needed to come get him..

I said does he not have any medication there she said no he didnt..just his inhaler and it wasnt working.

Being I have a respiratory back ground I take asthma very seriously I have seen people die from not taking asthma seriously... this scared me so the kids and I hopped into the car and made the 5 minute trip in 2 minutes...

The timing was terrible because school was letting out and it was pack..

I zipped in the one way the wrong way and found the only parking spot availble..<thank you GOD>

As I was running I heard the nurse scream at the other lady I have called the ambulance he is crashing on us..

SHIT SHIT SHIT was all I could think...

Crashing on us is medical talk for going down hill

When I got into the building my nephew was in a wheelchair hanging his head down and wheezing so hard I could heard it with my bare ears 3 feet away...

He was trying to stay calm and he could barely talk..

Everyone was scared the nurse the principal came in...

Finall the firemen got there and started a breathing treatment on him quick..They started asking if he had ever been intubated before..<which basically means a tube down his throat to help him breath>

clayton said no..they said well we are going to wait and see how this goes..

When my nephew could talk he said he had blew 400 that morning.. <this measure his lung volume > normal lung volume for him is 600-700..

I told him that he should of never been outside working out for wresling with his lungs so comprimized...

I could pinch his head off... and to not have any meds for the nurse at school to administer...

Lets just say ..I was so scared that he was going to fall over dead while we waited...

Typical teenagers thinking nothing will ever happen
