Fever and Transport

Alison was transported to UMMC on Sunday with a high fever. She is in ICU. Her fever has subsided. 

Yesterday Mary Pat was there. She said Alison was pale and staring up at the ceiling. Her breaths were shallow. Two male nurses were in the room and ran out and ran back in with a box. Mary Pat asked what was going on. They said they were going to intubate her. Mary Pat informed them of her DNI order and so they stopped. She said everyone gathered around because they thought Alison was going to go into arrest. Miraculously, she pulled through it (like she does) and was alert and knew who Mary Pat was. 

They are not allowed to post DNR/DNI orders because of HIPPA. WOW!!!!!

Mary Pat told Alison that she would be in touch with Reenie. Alison requested that she notify "the Boss".  Philip. :)

They will test to see if she had aspirated causing her temperature to spike. 

More as I hear.
