Anaphylactic Shock!?!?

Saturday night around 6p.m. when Brian got home from work, he was complaining with his throat feeling like it had a rock in it and someone was pulling down on his throat. He said he had the symptom all day and the day before and it had progressively gotten worse. He was now gagging every 5 minutes. I finally talked him into going back to the E.R. where they did a chest x-ray and found his throat was about 95% blocked. The Dr. told us another hour and we would have had to call an ambulance and they would have had to do a trachiotomy. The Dr. believes it is caused from an antibiotic Brian has been taking for about 10 days called Bactrum for a sinus infection. They admitted Brian to the hospital and are giving him high doses of steriods, benadryl and epinephrine. He feels pretty good until those begin to wear off and then he feels his throat begin to swell again. It's a very uncomfortable and scary feeling, hence it makes him rather nervous and anxious. The nurse told him had he went to bed last night and tried to forget about it that in his sleep he would have never known and he would have went into respitory arrest. I am so thankful today that Brian is feeling somewhat better and that the Good Lord above is taking care of us and watching over us, even when we don't realize it. I ask that you remember Brian in your thoughts and prayers today as he recovers from what could have been a lot more serious problem than it is. Hopefully he will continue to recover with the high doses of medication and be able to come home tomorrow. Thank the Lord for his goodness, mercy and grace in our lives once again!
