ER visit

Last night as Lynnelle was doing her evening meds, she forgot to prime the line. She hooked the empty (ie: full of air and not fluid) line up to her port. She infused about 28" inches of air before we caught it. Then she started feeling funny so we took her in to the ER.  Mom would rather be on the safe side and take her in, rather to wake up and find her dead. That would be the worst case scenario, i know. 
         So around 10:30 we headed in. Mom and i were both winding down for the night getting ready to go to bed when suddenly its time to hurry to ER. 

blankets and big boots trying to stay warm!


 Since it can be such a serious problem we were taken straight back to a room and an EKG done right away. She also had a CT scan of her lungs and chest to see how much air was floating around in there. 

 In the end everything was okay which was a relief! We were home by about 3:30 AM. And crashed into bed. Poor mom had to leave at 7:15 for work, but today was one of her easy jobs so that was a blessing.
