Cameron woke up Saturday with one of his lymph nodes about the size of the golf ball bulging out of his neck. He couldn't talk, turn his head, or move. It appeared to be an allergic reaction but he hasn't yet had anything to eat or drink and he wasn't itching and didn't have a rash anywhere. Another part of me wondered if it wasn't a terrible case of strep. So Jason and I took him to the ER totally prepared to stay awhile with the flu epidemic. But we were the only ones there and were taken right back. They weren't too convinced it was an allergic reaction but treated him for it anyway with Benadryl, Pepcid, and Prednisone. Within in minutes we literally watched the swelling decrease to nothing, he was moving and talking, and felt so much better. We have no idea what it was but are prepared with our epipen in car it happens again.
This is how Jason occupied his time in the ER. It kept Cameron and I entertained for sure :) In case the volume is hard to tell, he is teaching us how to protect ourselves from hospital intruders.
and another....
