SURGE day 1&2
Saturday morning, Bryan and I met 6 other people at the church and loaded up for FL. We were going a day early to set up the equipment, buy groceries, etc. Sunday evening, 64 other people joined us including 56 high school students. We all arrived safely, YEAH! Monday was our first full day of camp. Things started out nicely and the weather was nice.
Our first incident happened just before dinner. Some of our boys were outside playing basketball in their flip flops. One boy got stepped on and his toenail got ripped off. It was rather bloody and nasty. Pam (our rookie nurse) and his parents, cleaned him up and bandaged it well. Later that evening, Taylor had a game of Capture the flag planned. After setting it up, Bryan and I started heading to the cafeteria when he said he felt funny like when he got stung before.
I began to rush him onto the cafeteria where Nurse Pam was. I caught her as she was leaving. She started attending to Bryan and I rushed to find a student with an Epi Pen since I couldn’t find Bryan’s. Pam called EMS and stuck him with the Epi Pen. EMS arrived very quickly, PRAISE the LORD! While they were working with Bryan, some of our leaders came running in with two of our girls pouring blood. The girls had head butted one another and busted their heads. We ended up in the ER with all 3 of them.
That was the quickest ER I have ever been to. It was a 15 or 20 minute trip to get there. Once we got there, we had not even finished signing in when the nurse took us back. The Dr. was really nice and he attended to all three of our patients. The girls required 11 and 14 stitches. It was insane! We knew God must be up to something.
