Summer excursion-stop 3

After 5 weeks there, we flew up to Plymouth, NH. The town was a little bigger. The closest Walmart was only two highways and 10 minutes away here. No air conditioning, 90 degrees with 90 percent humidity. It was a blast! The first week went by without any major incidents, I got to attend all the classes, which made a HUGE difference. One of the teachers was Curtis Jacobs, who was the speaker at my very first youth conference ever, and is one of my absolute favorite speakers ever. Our session director (the "father" of the session) had also been a teacher for several of the years that I attended EFY as a participant. Well, then Saturday morning check out hit. I got a call saying that a girl was “kind of sick on the 2^nd floor.” I got changed (i had just been awakened by that phone call) then went to go check on her. It turns out “kind of sick” means unresponsive, and breathing at a rate of about 60 a minute. So I called 911…I never appreciated Johnson County dispatch as much as I did after talking to dispatch in NH. As my old supervisor, Joe Reynolds would say “wow.” The ambulance crew showed up and I knew I wasn’t in Johnson County anymore…two people TOTAL (for those of you who took part in my training, thank you, the ambulance crew said my “report” was one of the clearest, most concise ones they’d received in a long time.) Her blood sugar was 450 (first a blood sugar in the 600s in VA, then this...what was the deal?) She had never had any health problems in her life. After life flighting her to Boston (the nearest pediatric hospital), we had no more major incidents this summer. What I wouldn’t have given for a nice trauma. We went to Boston on the weekend in between sessions, which was very interesting. I’ve decided that I will NEVER drive in Boston again. I was able to go to the Boston temple, too...which was difficult to find, but worth it.
