Frightening Day!

My daughter and I were painting a bathroom in her house when she started feeling chilled and then hot! Her stomach will killing her and she kept leaving me to run to the bathroom upstairs. We finished and she went to get the girls while I went home. When I walked in the door at home the phone was ringing and it was Carrie saying she was starting to faint and could I please come over fast. When I got there she couldn't even sit up. I tried to get her to her bed, but she kept blacking out!!!!! I called 911 and the ambulance came and took her out on a stretcher. She was not able to breath and was panicky. I couldn't even go to the hospital with her because of the girls. Margo would never have been able to stand the confusion, noise and long wait:( I called Rog and he went to the hospital to stay with Carrie! He brought her home a little after 8 last night. Evidently she has some kind of bacterial infection, dehydration and low white cell count. Not really sure what any of that means since they didn't give her any medicine. Anyway, I have had the girls for two days now and am feeling a bit tired:D Carrie is actually no better.....the running to the rest room continues when she drinks anything. Wish there was something I could do..........

Oh my gosh, how frightening for both her and you. I am glad that they were able to send her home and that it was not anything real serious. I hope she follows up with the doc to find out why her count was so low. Thank goodness you were so close and able to get there and be there for the girls.
