Still, many are asking, “But he used EpiPens… why didn’t they work?” The answer is, his father did not have them readily available and had to go home to get them, first to place him on nebulizer before admin the Epi , as we know minutes do count.... He did do the best of his ability by what awareness. That is why everyone in the care of children have to be made aware, all every caregiver. Dads do not leave it up to the moms to only know... you have to be aware as well... Moms are the caregiver but there is no time to make a call to her to talk about what to do, you have to be aware of doing it... right away... Sorrow filled hearts both myself and my older son, had not been there.. we cannot go back, we need to move forward and raise awareness... Thank you for this beautiful awareness about epinephrine... I love you and this here made me feel better today... I love you all.. AWARENESS.. We cannot take back what took place with Joseph but we can work to better educate others Here’s what we do know about epinephrine: Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis, which usually does not result in anaphylactic shock. Epinephrine should be given at the first signs of anaphylaxis or when a known allergen has been ingested, even if no symptoms of anaphylaxis are present. Do not wait until symptoms become too serious. When giving epinephrine every minute counts. Be sure your child has his or her auto injectors easily accessible at all times. Epinephrine can loose it’s efficacy over time. Always check expiration dates and be sure to keep your prescriptions current. Discount coupons are available for all brands of auto-injector devices. Epinephrine can lose it’s efficacy if not kept at a moderate temperature. Never leave your auto injectors to bake in a hot car or store them in the fridge. If your child has both asthma and food allergies, learn to recognize the differences and talk to your allergist about your child’s emergency care plan.
