Shy-Diapers Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sarah looked around and eventually pointed to some apple juice and then some raspberry juice. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Valerie put both bottles in the cart, then found the noodles. "Okay, which noodles do you like?" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sarah jumped and tried to reach a box of bowtie noodles. "Bowties! They my favorite!" Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 "I like those ones too." Valerie smiled and added several boxes of the pasta to the cart. "Do you like sauce on your noodles, or butter?" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 "Mmm sauce!" Sarah replied excitedly. She was really starting to come out of her shell now. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Valerie grabbed the things she needed to make sauce, then went to the freezer aisle to get some garlic bread. "Why don't we get stuff for a salad, too. Do you like salad?" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sarah looked a bit confused and just shrugged. "I dunno. I don't think I ever had salad." Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 "Well, Janie likes salad and I bet you will, too." Valerie pushed the cart to the produce department and started filling it with vegetables. "What kind of fruit do you like?" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sarah nodded and figured she'd try it. "I like apricots and purple grapes." Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Valerie grabbed half a dozen apricots and a bag of the red grapes. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 "I never had peanut butter and jelly. I try that? It sound tasty." Sarah said, trying to be happy and not feel sad about Janie crying. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Valerie found the peanut butter and jelly. "Okay, they have grape, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry jelly. Which one do you want to try?" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 "Grape please!" Sarah said excitedly. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Janie let out a wail and kicked wildly. Grape was her least favorite, so of course Sarah would pick that one, but she knew protesting would be useless. Valerie continued to ignore the temper tantrum, hoping the girl would give it up when she realized no one was paying attention. She put the grape jelly in the cart, grabbed a few more things she needed, and made a beeline for the register. "Anything else you want?" she asked one last time. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sarah shook her head, and just trotted beside Natalie happily, dragging her rabbit ehind her. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (sorry my laptop came unplugged and the battery is dead so I had to restart it) Luckily the lines were short and they were soon on their way. Valerie got the girls buckled in, loaded the groceries into the trunk, and drove straight home. After getting Sarah out of the car she got Janie, carried her in, and sat her on the time-out stool in the corner. "Stay there until I tell you to come out," she instructed the still-crying girl before going back outside for the groceries. Once she was done she made sandwiches for the girls. "Sarah, time for lunch. Janie, you may come to the table now," she said, but the girl had already cried herself to sleep. Valerie shrugged, figuring it would be best to leave her for the time being.

Shy-Diapers Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sarah sat and watched the kitty while Valerie made lunch. She was fascinated by the little creature. When Valerie called her for lunch, she got up and ran to the table, excited to try something new. She set her rabbit on the table next to the plate, and climbed into he chair. "Thank you!" Before Valerie could even say 'you're welcome', Sarah was already digging into her sandwich. "I like it!" She said excitedly. She finished the whole sandwich, but soon after, her skin was becoming red and blotchy. She started coughing and wheezing, holding her throat. She was going into anaphylactic shock, but having never had peanuts before, no one had any idea she was allergic. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Valerie watched in horror as the girl's lips began to turn blue from lack of oxygen. She realized the girl was having an allergic reaction to something and quickly grabbed some Benadryl from the bathroom, crushed the pills up so they could be absorbed quicker, and put them on Sarah's tongue, hoping to stop the allergic reaction from getting worse while she dialed 911. "It's okay baby," she said soothingly as she waited for the ambulance to appear. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sarah had tears running down her face. The four-year-old was scared out of her mind. She couldn't breathe, her throat was closing. She had no idea what was going on, but she knew she didn't like this. She could only clench onto her rabbit and cry while they waited for the paramedics. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Within minutes the paramedics arrived and quickly went to work on Sarah. Soon they had her on a stretcher and were whisking her away. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sarah was sobbing. She had just gotten comfortable with Valerie in this new place, and now some strangers are taking her into some strange car and going to some strange place. She wished she could Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The ambulance made it to the hospital in just a few minutes. Sarah was rushed inside and the doctors took over her care, administering epinephrine to stop the anaphylactic shock. Soon Valerie ran in. She set Janie down and hurried to Sarah's side. "It's okay baby, I'm right here," she soothed, stroking the girl's forehead. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sarah cried and reached for Valerie. She was terrified and just needed someone to hold her at this point. She didn't understand why anything was happening, but she did start to feel better after the shots, Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 As soon as she was able to, Valerie scooped Sarah up and held her tight, rocking her gently. Janie, still dazed and confused after her nap was disrupted, sighed as she watched Sarah hog her mother's attention yet again. With a sigh she turned and wandered away, wondering if her mother would even notice she was missing. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sarah hugged Valerie as tight as she could, still scared. "What happen?" She asked, her voice scratchy from the attack. Link to comment
