EMERGENCY ROOM STORY AND THANKS

January 19, 2012

Hi dear list mates,

First I want to apologies for so many confusing emails I sent last night, I was

in panic mode and I really want to thank you all for being so helpful when you

are most needed.

Last night while I was cooking dinner I heard my son complaining about some toy,

he said something like " oh no! the yellow piece is in my nose! " , so I ran

upstairs to check on him and he happened to have a piece of some kind of plastic

up his left nostril, but it was really deep inside so I wasn't able to help him,

anyway, We ran to the emergency room and the doctor said that he needed to be

intervene as the object was too deep inside, so He mentioned 3 different

anesthetics, and I freaked out when he mentioned gas, as they have a dental room

and everything was just ready to go. I remembered some post I read saying it

could be dangerous, so I said no to the doctor, that I knew that propofol was ok

but I wasn't sure, and he asked me what it was that I wanted him to administer

then? with a kind of sarcastic tone, so then I told him I'd let him know in a

second and so I typed the post under a different subject as I never used my

phone to check the yahoo list, ever! and somehow it got send many times.

That is why my post was so brutal... but like always, there were

parents/relatives in this list who are always collaborating and sharing their

knowledge and I thank you all!

I always complaint to myself of how many emails I get and if I miss a week there

will be hundreds of mails waiting to be either deleted or read, and how hard is

to keep up with all the info. I will never again think about it the same way!

Back at the ER, they did intervene my son(5yo and 40lb), they gave him I believe

50 of propofol via IV with it was really hard to put in, they got it in after 3

times, he got knock out pretty fast and they got the object out, then my son

stop breathing, dropping the oxygen rate to 68 and they acted rapidly and put an

oxygen mask on and laid his body in a better position, so he quickly got his

oxygen rate back to 100, but it was very scary as I was in the surgical room

the whole time... He then was expected to wake up soon but it took him about 1

hour more than other kids that had the same amount of anesthetic, as it has to

be processed by the liver(which indicated me that his liver is not at 100%). He

then finally woke up (huge relieve) and after 1 1/2 hour we came back home,

happy it was over.

Sorry for the long post, but I needed to write it, no matter how easy everything

seems to be, it can get complicated... my husband is also grateful for this list

and the knowledge I've gotten from everyone. Even the doctor said at the end,

" I'd never have thought that children with autism were so sensitive to

anesthetics, I knew about the sound, pain and light, though... I'll look more in

to that "

That is my last night story.

Thank you everyone and keep looking forward and getting healthier!

I'm glad your son is okay! One thing I recently learned is that propofol is

derived from soybeans. My son is allergic to soy and we used an alternative for

his colonoscopy. The doctor thought we were completely nuts, no propofol or

nitrous! Oh well! Again, glad he's okay!
