Benedryl Overdose <child Warning>

[Bildungzroman]

benadryl is a living hell if you overdose on it.
my sister did the same thing.
she was out of it for weeks afterwards and hallucinating.
thankfully shes okay now.
apparently benadryl in small doses is something kids take to get a high.
so an overdose will really just wipe you.

I don't understand howcparents allow their crotch goblins to terrorize other kids. How do they justify it? Are they afraid to face the reality of what kind of human being their little hell spawn is maturing in to? I have no idea! I don't care!
If I ever found out my child was bullying another child at school, she/he had better pray to GOD that the authorities are able to step in before I do! An ass whoopin, grounding, on top of losing their cell, laptops, video games, TV priviledges, & maybe even their bedroom doors will all be in tgeir future! My kids have NEVER & better NEVER let me catch them pulling this crap! I will NOT hesitate in the slightest to yank a knot in their tales!!!

I am so sorry this happened to your daughter.....bullies themselves are insecure assholes that try to make them feel better by making someone else feel bad. I was bullied and years later I ran into the bully and he said he did not recall doing this to me

[Pyramid_Head]

I'm happy to hear she recovered, hopefully she's still doing well.

Thank You for Sharing

It must have been hard to vent like that.... I don't know you or your family, but I wish you all Well and Peace

[CreepyDeathShrine]

Glad she survived, I wish her to live happy, joyous and free. She deserves that.

I got home about 740-745pm, Alivia cane up to me and gave me a hug and a kiss. We talked for a little bit, then she went to the bathroom, came and kissed me goodnight and she went to bed about 8pm. (She’s always in bed by 8pm by her own choosing.)

About 810, she calls for me and tells me I need to bring her to the hospital Bc she just took a bottle of Benadryl. BENADRYL, y’all. I asked her how many pills and she said all of them in a brand new bottle. 100 pills. I asked her where the bottle was and she told me, I got the bottle and called poison control to see what I needed to do before I brought her to the ER. He said nothing, bring her immediately it is a lethal dose and he was calling the ER ahead of me so they knew to be expecting us.

On the 20 min drive there, I am talking to her and asking her why and trying to keep her awake and alert. My 17yo daughter, Rhesa, was with us. By the time we got to the ER, Alivia could barely walk. We went in, I signed her in and told the nurse that poison control called ahead. We still had to wait for about 10 min before she was triaged. By that time, her speech was slurring. Her pulse was 143 and blood pressure about 145/95.

We got sent back to the next triage part and they asked what happened and I told them. So they brought us back to a room. By that time she could no longer speak and couldn’t follow simple commands. The nurse & dr came in and got an IV started and was trying to get her to drink some activated charcoal.

She was starting to fight the nurses Bc she didn’t understand what was happening. Her pulse was now 165, BP was about 160/110. It was now about 9-915pm. She wouldn’t swallow for the nurse so I tried to get her to do it. I managed to get her to take a small sip, then she grabbed my hand, looked at me and started having a seizure. I started yelling for help, Rhesa started yelling and ran out the room screaming for someone. A bunch of nurses & doctors came in and started giving her Ativan and trying to get her to stop seizing.

It felt like hours, but was probably 5 min or so until it stopped. Or so I thought. Rhesa called a friend to come and get her. I called my mom and she called my dad to come to the hospital to be with him. Alivia was still having small seizures and fighting everyone. They had to restrain her. She couldn’t swallow so they put a NG tube down her nose to give her the activated charcoal.

The ER then said they were transferring her to Children’s Hospital in New Orleans. They wanted to med flight her, but the weather was to bad. By now the dr thought the best thing was to put her into a coma and on a ventilator. Her oxygen stats kept plummeting, her pulse was now 193 and her BP was around 170/120.

She was at stroke levels and heart attack levels. The dr told me that if she wouldn’t have told me what she did as soon as she did, she would have had the seizure at home and died. The dr kept giving her more Ativan to get her to stop seizing and it was not working. They finally gave her Versed & Ketamine along with the Ativan and she finally stopped having seizures.

Her pulse and BP finally went back within normal ranges. High end of normal, but normal. She had seizure activity for about 3 hours. She was put into ICU. She had 2 IVs, a catheter, ventilator, NG tube, plus other wires checking her heart, oxygen levels, etc etc. Wednesday they took her off one of the sedation meds to see if she knew what was going on. She was able to breathe on her own and she could follow commands so they took her off all the sedation meds. She was hallucinating now.

The dr said the hallucinations were from the Benadryl and could possibly last weeks and could come and go for those weeks. She had a CT scan to check for strokes, luckily she didn’t have one. Blood work done said her kidney & liver functions were messed up but they have a good chance of functioning normally and we will have to get them checked every few months.

She was still having a hard time keeping her Oxygen levels up so she had to be on oxygen. And she was still having tremors from seizure activity. Thursday Oct 25th, she was moved to a reg room. And on Friday she was able to come completely off the oxygen, she had aspiration pneumonia, and she was moved to a psych unit.

On Friday Nov 2, 2018, Alivia was able to come home. She is seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist. She is currently doing good. She is coming to terms with what she did, how she feels about the attempt, and what she put us, her family, through.

We have a long road ahead of us, but with meds, counseling, Faith, and family we are supporting her and will be here for her.

The reason? Bullying at school. Again. Almost 3 years of it. My daughter had been called names, threatened, cyber bullied, physically assaulted and sexually assaulted at school. I had reported it and nothing was done. She reported it and nothing was done except a meeting with the bully and the bully told “don’t do it again.” So much for zero tolerance huh? I pressed charges against the girl that attacked her.

The guy that was sexually assaulting her would come up behind her in the hallway in between classes and grab her ass, boobs & vagina. The principal said “she’s too short, we can’t see it on camera so it must not be happening.” She didn’t know the kid, she was afraid to go to school.

The day she attempted it, she just couldn’t take any more of it. Between the bullying and her depression this is the result.

She’s now homeschooled. The pic of her in the red dress was taken 2 weeks before she attempted.

is your daughter ok now?

you all dont act like real gore watchers, feelings for others? what

I know you and I spoke in the DM’s about your daughter and I’m glad she is doing well. I also made the decision to pull my 15 (almost 16) year-old out of our local public school and get her started in FLVS. The sad part is, most of it comes straight from her sperm donor, aka my ex-husband. He was first a teacher at the high school, now he is a dean of students. He is the kind of right prick to make all of the kids call him “doctor”, because “I worked my ass off for my PhD”. Correction, I worked MY ass off doing his work for his Bachelors, Masters and graduate degree. My god, I’m studying law simply because I want to protect the kids and I form him, legally. I have gotten full custody of her and my son is now a sophomore in college.

The ex would talk shit about both of them to his students, then these maggots would go out and bully my kids. Prick was a football player in high school, until he contracted bacterial meningitis. My son is a techie. His major is in cyber security and he bowls. That wasn’t “manly enough” for asshole. I’m just ranting at this point.

I feel you. I have felt Alivia’s pain and I have felt your pain. My mom always says “this too shall pass”. Well, I want it to pass a lot faster!!

Kisses.
