So I've told yall that Adam and I are pretty much regulars at the ER. Well, we almost had to make another appearance Friday night. Adam picks me up from work early and we go home. We open the door and the entire house smells like gasoline. Apparently, in his hurry to get out the door that morning, he put a can of weedeater gas in the garage... dummy.... and then apparently knocked it over. So the house is full of gas fumes. I open up the garage and all the windows and turn fans on to try to air out the house. We're sitting there and had just put a movie in when Adam starts complaining that his tongue was itching. I thought he was just being dumb so I didn't pay too much attention to it. He then says he's starting to have breathing problems, so assuming that it was the gas fumes, I told him to go outside and get some fresh air.
We go out in the backyard and he starts itching all over like crazy complaining that his skin was burning. I pull up his shirt and his back is bright red and covered in goose bumps even though it's 90 something degrees outside. I told him to go take a cold shower. I looked at him before he went inside and I said "babe, your face looks WEIRD". He goes inside and his face is all swollen and he's breaking out in hives. With the way his face was swollen, it made him look like an 80 year old man. I give him a couple tablets of benadryl and make him jump in the shower. I called my mom (who has severe peanut allergies) and told her that I thought Adam was having an allergic reaction. She said to give him 2 more benadryl, wait about 20 minutes and if he doesn't get any better, to go to the hospital
Adam can't wait that long. He kept saying that his throat was closing up so we get in my car and I haul ass to the hospital. Well, by the time we get there, the benadryl had kicked in and the swelling was starting to go down and he wasn't having any more breathing issues, so we sit in the car for a while just in case he still needed to go inside. He didn't, so we went home.
Man, that scared the crap out of me!!! All I kept thinking about was Will Smith in that movie, Hitch, which of course sent me into hysterical giggles.
