Nito's ER Trip

So yesterday Nito developed a more intense episode of nausea and we were not sure what caused it. My husband blamed the cannabis and told me it was not working and we had to stop it. As I stated I am a medical cannabis patient. I was under the effect of the cannabis when my husband said these things. Instead of seeing him as cruel or closed minded I saw it as his unknowingly immature way of finding out how I feel about whether cannabis is helping our son, and what we needed to do about it.

I reminded my husband that I was turned away for ABA therapy, that our son was in school for years on big promises and now he hates it, how no one anywhere has helped us except for the cannabis community.

I told him all things need time and that I had seen plenty of indication that it was helping him, and that I should start documenting our success. I told him we could give up as he suggested. I would return to my intense headaches, reflux, moodiness, etc. My son, we would have to send him back to school against his will and he would likely have to be admitted at some point. He was too aggressive.

We took him to ER, told them he was on cannabis, and the nurse said "good for you. Sometimes that's the only thing that works." She did not believe cannabis had anything to do with his vomiting. She gave him an anti-nausea med that you simply stick in the mouth and it absorbs super fast on moisture. We walked away from the experience with more trust from my husband in what we are doing (he and I don't even drink so cannabis freaked him out, he knows nothing about it).

My son normally will try to escape ER by running away, but he slept thru the entire visit. Normally he does not fall asleep easily let alone sleep in public with all the lights. This has never ever happened before.
