NEWS ON THE TAMS.....

Well, Tammy has had a couple of rough days. However, she slept thru the night last night and has not been sick since her rushed visit to the ER. On Thursday afternoon about 3 pm, Boo opened a can of chicken noodle soup of which Tams got 30 cc of the juice. That started it!!! She threw up all night and all morning Thursday. Johnny called the Doc (one of the interns talked to him, not Dr. S) and the Doc told him to get her to the ER at UMC STAT!!! He said he would call the ER and let them know they were on the way and what to do. Well, they flew to Jackson, and got to the ER. The Doc had not called. They waited around about 2 hours - and Tams finally told Johnny, "well, if I am gonna die, I'd just as soon die at home in Lauderdale County." So they left. One of the nurses was kind enough to tell them that with dehydration, Tammy could drop dead any second. As she was not getting help at the ER and was not on an IV, that was cruel. Johnny let Sarah know how upset he and Tams were. Sarah was very aplogetic. Tams slept all the way to Jackson and was fine on the way home. She has not thrown up since before they left to go to Jackson. And she didn't get ill last night. Boo came home with a little virus from school.....so......I told Johnny I thought maybe the chicken noodle soup broth may have been too rich.....or the virus..... She is fine now!!!! Go TAMS go!!!! Smoochies Arlies

My Queen, Poor Tams, glad she's better and poor BOO she probably feels like she made Moma sick. I hope the ER nurse put that doc on report. That is NOT acceptable. He could have called in orders for an IV!!!!!!!!and anti-nausea meds(they come in other than oral form) If she is worth her salt she reported it. Monday Tams needs to call Dr.S's office and let them know. I'm sure he'll have something to say about it. She can join our TICKED OFF CLUB,no contracts no fees ,no meetings just vent with gar-een-teed listeners. You loving turnip, Tomanip

OMG that sounds awful. That doc needs a good swift kick in the butt and so does the hospital. I'm glad that she is doing better now. Hopefully she has gotten her bad stuff out of the way. So it will be clean sailing from here. Becky

wow that really stinks. i would be highly upset if dr whitehead did that to me!! i think she needs to call him monday and give him the "what fors"!!! i hope she is feeling better.sometimes u just never know about some foods post op but it was probably a virus. crystal 229/144/125

Poor Tammy, I guess that the virus kicked in about the same time that she ate the soup! It is easy to feel that sick, I ate some refried beans and had the same thing happen, I was so ill for quite a few hours!
