roberta80 miles away ... not way you should try to drive there even after you gave the shot. You need to go to the nearest hospital with an emergency letter - explaining was treatment is needed. Of course give the injection of solu-cortef at home and go to the NEAREST hospital. I am sure the doctors would prefer that you drive 80 miles so they can get paid but that would put your child in RISK... NO WAY. Your local ped doctor - needs the emergency letter. The local ped doctor or family doctor can see your child in the hospital and call the OU medical center if a conference is needed.
I have an emergency letter. And I can email it to you. Or go to the CARES web site and look at their sample letters (click on adrenal crisis). http://www.caresfoundation.org/
