We were told that she would be discharged sometime in the afternoon. On day 4, Nova was given a chest X-Ray in the morning which further confrimed that she was indeed getting better. They informed us that they wanted to observe her for one more night. Luckily, Nova's condition seemed to be improving. We signed off on the risks of this surgery and were totally prepared to go through with it. The specialsit told us that he was going to do a final CAT scan and if it showed little or no improvement - they would have to do surgery. That evening, the hospital found a specialist. I reported back to our head nurse that the legality of our situation was in question and that I would be taking further steps to persue justice. I was informed that denying a patient care because of their insurance status was illegal. I did some research and called a couple other hospitals, searching for a specialist. Nova had to cancel her medical insurance a few months ago because her asthma medication is so insanely expensive that she couldnt afford paying for insurance AND the medication. Ultimately, the hospital told us that they're specialist wouldn't help Nova because he didn't want to work with a patient who had no insurance. I felt like I had a full-time job just making sure that the hospital staff were taking adequate care of her. By the end of our stay, I had an entire notebook filled with doctor names, medical reports and every tiny thing that happened while we were in the hospital. I had to constantly be on top of her medication (cough medicine, Ativan, painkillers, upset stomach meds, etc.) I had to continuously check with the nurses on the status of the specialist that they were trying to find to treat her.

I had to argue with nurses about giving her additional breathing treatments when she couldn't get any air. I was sick from the cold I contracted from Nova, but I stayed in the hospital with her all day and night for the duration of her stay. Aside from the "Pneumothorax" + "Pneumomediastinum", her asthma was causing major problems so she was given dozens of breathing treatments. After a 12-hour stay (overnight) in the emergency room, we were informed that they could not locate a specialist and checked us into the Direct Observation Unit (DOU) upstairs.ĭuring our 3-day stay in the DOU, Nova was subject to countless CAT scans and throat/chest x-rays. They told us that the were going to transfer us to a new hospital. The hospital informed us that this complication is fairly rare and because of it's uncommoness, they didn't have a doctor that specialized in it's treatment.
#NOVA ROCKAFELLER DEF JAM SKIN#
Her skin felt like freshly-baked rice crispies (due to the millions of air-bubbles beneath the surface) and all of the areas where the air was trapped appeared swollen and puffy. The air was also trapped in both shoulders, her arms and her face. Essentially, Nova's cold combined with her asthma triggered violent coughing, which burst part of her left and right lungs - the air from her lungs escaped into her chest cavity and started pooling between her wind-pipe and the skin in her neck (compressing her airways and causing breathing problems). When the results came back, they showed an acute case of "Pneumothorax", "Pneumomediastinum" and a partially collapsed lung. She was rushed into the main emergency room and given a CAT scan. I rushed her to the hospital for the second time that day.Īrriving in the emergecny room, her lips and fingers were turning blue.

She also told me that she could no longer hear anything.

She told me that her throat felt rock-hard and after squeezing it, somthing broke free and it felt like "fluid" was rushing up both sides of her neck. She struggled for a few seconds and then gasped for breath. I turned around to answer and saw her looking absolutely terrified, clutching her throat. Nova was sitting at the kitchen table and as I started to walk toward the living room I heard her call my name. I had contracted Nova's cold and we were both moving very slow. On the evening of Sunday the 10th, I was cooking us dinner at our home. After several trips to various clinics, a multitude of steroid injections/breathing treatments and a trip to the Emergency Room - nothing seemed to be helping.

4 days ago my girlfriend, Nova, got sick with a bad cold which triggered her already severe asthma.
