But before I get into today's details, I need to provide some background info from yesterday. My daughter booked in for her second moderna dose, about 30 mins or so before she was due to start work. She doesn't handle needles too well and was a bit frazzled beforehand. She got stressed because they took a while to get around to giving her the dose and she was worried she'd be late for work. Needless to say she didn't feel well afterwards: she was flushed, hot, felt nauseated and was dizzy. She soldiered on through work but really didn't feel much better.

She didn't feel like much for dinner, so didn't eat much. Went to bed about 10. I got woken up at 12 with her searching for some pain relief for her arm and a headache. Got her back off to sleep and hit the sack myself.

Got woken up again at 5:30 with her complaining of chest pains. Her breathing was very shallow and I figure she might be having a panic attack.

After a bit of discussion, we decide to head up to the emergency department. Arrive at the hospital and we're screened outside. Whilst waiting, I let the ex know what's going on and she decides to come up. My daughter is taken into a cubicle and I go back outside to wait for the ex to arrive. Ex gets here and goes in with my daughter (only one allowed at a time).

About 30 minutes later, ex texts me to say there's been an announcement that there is code yellow for x-ray , emergency and one other department. Nurse comes outside and tells me and one other person waiting outside that there has been a covid exposure and that the site may be considered a tier 1 exposure site and that they are awaiting advice in that. We're told not to leave as we may be required to test and isolate. My daughter and ex are not allowed to leave. Either.

So, it's now 11 and still no word as to what's going on. The code yellow happened about 8:30.

Looks like it could be a quiet weekend coming up.

imagine how many varying scenarios have been occuring similar in hospitals - in some case's for the worst as we've seen reported.
Touch wood all a ok in the end Fox all the best.

I'll pass on one that occured last night as well re one of the fsmily.
There we were celebrating our eldest son's bday dinner (even better having some fam joining us due to restrictions loosening) my wife gets a sms from one of her sisters we are close to their 13yr old fit son staying at a friends place had suddenly gone all dizzy gasping for air - they called the ambos thankfully got him under control rushed to hosp.
Only my bro inlaw could enter hosp covid rules so you can imagine how my sister inlaw was feeling waiting outside.
Straight to intensive care and scans etc ends up its Wolff Parkinso - White syndrome. (yes thankfully can/will be treated)
So their night and the boys were one of those you never wish for as a parent.
Thankfully cardioligist has it all under control, the poor fella has to stay in hosp procedure done next week.
The poor kid like any active one having been locked up for 3mths + finally gets out and about and now this, you can't pick it eh.
Yep thankfully he'll a ok but a day in a life says it all.
