Well, I got the call last night from McKay's best friend that she was in a lot of pain. In fact, I could hear her screaming in the background. Josilyn told me that they the camp nurse was giving her pain medication and wanted me to know. They thought she was just having severe cramps. I got two more calls. She was not doing better about 45 minutes later. I had asked McKay if I should come up until this point and she kept saying no. Again, thinking it was just cramps. When Josilyn called the last time, McKay is hysterically crying in pain and wanted me to come. I knew I needed to be there and drove way to fast to get to her. Thankfully, her camp is only 25 minutes from me. I about ten minutes away when I get the call that the counselor said "McKay is worse and needs to go to the hospital." I am driving and trying to call her dad and our family. We were going to met at the Emergency room.
I get there and McKay is outside surrounded by about 8 people helping her. She is hysterical and sobbing like I have never seen her. I had hurt my back yesterday and so I could barely move. It was about 10 pm at night. Josilyn insisted to go with us (she is like a sister to McKay).
We drove straight to Primary Children Medical Center Hospital- the Emergency room. She was in so much pain that she was immediately put in a wheelchair. The other kids there were staring trying to figure out why McKay was slumping over and "wailing"- I guess that is how I would describe it.
Thankfully, McKay's dad came with Gentry, Taylor and Spencer. They got her back to exam her rather quickly. I knew by their questions that they thought she was or had been pregnant. They had us leave the room to talk to her alone. When they found out that there was no way she would or could be they tried to figure out what was causing the pain.
We were there for hours. At one point her pulse went so low that they pinched her to get her to move. In the end, they do not know exactly what is wrong. They believe that she has problems with the lining of her stomach/intestines. Gastistis...soory- I know this is spelled wrong. I am going on VERY little sleep. The pain medication worked to dull the pain, but she is still having pain. They released her from the hospital and want her to be seen again today.
Right now, she still has the pain but not as severe. The pain pills are working, but I have to be honest. I'm a little concerned since we really do not know for sure what is going on. Thank you for all of you who have called, texted, emailed and face booked. THANK YOU!
I will keep everyone posted, but I feel comforted to know she is going to be okay. She was given a blessing by her dad and Spencer and it really reassured me and her. Unfortunately for me, my back is worse than ever. I went to the chiropractor yesterday and it did not help at all. Hopefully, it will get better soon.
