My Red Teapot
7x9in watercolor on moleskin paper SOLD
Artist Note
Remember in my last post
saying painting only
one item is so much easier...
Well...this is almost one item with
the pot and cup linked together.
My regular followers know
how many times I have painted this
much loved teapot.
Started from memory
in ER during the final hour when I knew
all would be okay.
On a serious note.
I am passing this info on in case
it can be helpful.
I spent 9 hours in the ER with my
hubby yesterday.
A very serious allergy reaction to a
med he had been taking 15 years.
Enalapril.
We are all familiar with a reaction to
something immediate - like a bee sting
or food, but I was unaware that you
can also have a gradual
build up leading to a very severe one.
He has had a dry cough for a couple of
years and that was apparently
a symptom all was not well.
The ER doctor
recognized the culprit was
Enapril for blood pressure,
causing the Angioedema
He started the standard treatment
to WHICH my hubby DID NOT RESPOND
We had some heart thumping moments
of fear and dread.
The clever (young) doctor remembered
reading something and went and
researched on the
computer and found it.
Fresh Frozen plasma
has started to be used as a successful treatment.
Keep that part in mind if you
or someone you know
is ever in a similar predicament...
especially in a small town hospital
where they do not see a lot of
angioedema.
One pouch of drip drip and the swelling
started to respond and after the second
bag he could feel he wasn't
suffocating to death
