Glad she is better but I agree, I’d like to know what caused it.

Could your daughter have been bitten or stung by an insect?
Glad the young lady is feeling better now.

I’d be on the lookout for lone star tick and see if she ate any red meat within a few hours (within 8 or so hours). Glad she is ok!

She was at Camp High Harbour Alatoona so not sure...no bites that we are aware of...no red meat...

That was the first thought of course, but no stings or bites...so we still have no culprit...she is asleep and feeling better and hives and redness is gone...but with all the meds she got that's not surprising...so we wait and see...ER doctor didn't seem too concerned, says sometimes it's just environmental...

I don't know about all that...so far haven't identified anything that may have caused this...no new meds, no bites, no stings, no peanut allergies, etc. She was outside at the lake getting ready to start her day...hadn't even had breakfast yet...so...

And for those of you that need them, something I've learned now twice (today and for a camping trip) is that Epipens are not easy to find...we've been to a number of different pharmacies trying to find them...seems to be a shortage...

Good news, glad she is doing well.
That will sure get your heart to pumping and stress levels elevated.

So far she has been completely out since we got home around lunch time...she looks a lot better, and isn't breathing heavily...crazy. She sounded like she had massive lung problems when they took the oxygen off getting out of the ambulance...

Glad she appears to be getting back to normal. Not much else can scare me, but something happening to my kids.

True that. I'm a pretty even keeled guy, but when those ambulance doors opened and she came out, it was hard to hold it together...the only reason I was able to is that I knew if I did lose it that would scare her even more...glad today is behind us...just wish I knew what the root cause was...I don't do well with speculation and maybes...
Prayers that y’all figure out what caused the issue . Glad she’s feeling better
Try getting the pens from a mail order pharmacy. Put one in every place you think she might be.

Glad to hear she is doing well. Never had a scare like that with our girls but I sure i would have been a basket case if they had needed an ambulance ride.
I hope all works out to the good for your daughter.

Thanks and hope your 15-yo is good too. We got the prescription for the epipen and she is going to an allergist. The epipen didn’t seem to help much which is why they called the ambulance which is kind of scary too. She has some skin allergies like your son (not eczema) but that’s a good call that they could be related.

Glad she's better and hope y'all get some answers.
