This popped up in my Book of Faces feed....


After a lot of heartbreak, emotional breakdowns, and medical rollercoasters, I am ready to share my family’s nightmare.  
Please Share!
  On August 9th, Arianna went to Creekside HS orientation with a friend and her family, out to lunch, and to hang at her friend’s house.  During lunch, the girls changed their plans, decided to ask her mom for the car and go the park to take pictures, and meet up with her friend’s guy friends to grab some weed. (Yes, the weed that is legal in several states, and the media portrays as a recreational drug that does no harm.)
  When the girls got the ball fields, the weed was all ready to go, and Arianna had to smoke first.  She got 2 hits, and that’s when everything went downhill fast.  Her throat and chest started to hurt so bad, she could barely breathe.  So, the crew felt it was best that her friend takes her to get some Gatorade, because Gatorade fixes everything.  When Ari started to drink the Gatorade, she began to vomit violently, and that continued for 45 mins.  Along with the shortness of breath and blacking out.  For 30 of these mins, while Ari was vomiting all through her friend’s car, they sat in a parking lot, not seeking help.  Finally, her friend’s weed dealer showed up, and they all were yelling at her to drink more, and clean up her mess.  She was unable to move, stop vomiting, and continued to black out.  The crew finally felt it was time to take Ari home, so the guys followed the girls back to our neighborhood.
  Ari never made it home, they decided to pull into the untraveled wooded loop at the entrance of our neighborhood, and the guys pulled Ari out of the of the car, and they left her.  She was still blacking out, incoherent, unaware of where she was, and scared.  Thank God at one point she could pull it together and text a close friend of mine that she needed help.  It was a boggled message, but enough.  My friend could use the info she got from Ari to Avery and his friend on a search for her.  They found her passed out, her body was limp, and she was unable to communicate with the boys.  She had also passed out on an ant hill so she was full of ant bites.  The boys took her to our house, and as soon as my twins got a hold of me, they took her to the ER.  This is something that will haunt my 3 younger children and their friend for a lifetime.
  At the ER, Ari was given Narcan and 1 more reversal medication.  These medications could wake her up to incoherently communicate and yell for about 30-45 mins.  Long enough to get some basic information on what happened.   After that she was in and out for 10 hours with very little ability to communicate.  During this time, the SJSO was called to the ER to help further investigate.  What a heartbreaking disaster!  The Deputy that answered the call was truly an embarrassment to the SJSO.  He apologized to us, told us there was nothing he could really do.  Our daughter had made a bad decision to smoke weed, and this is the effects of way too much weed, even though the ER department just educated us on the drug called Grey Death, synthetic fentanyl.  They felt the weed was laced, and unfortunately most synthetic drugs do not show up on their drug screens.  He told us in drug cases, there is really nothing he can do, In the Julington Creek area, parents have money, and the protect the kids that participate in the drug scene, and it is truly just Juligton Creek’s Dirty Little Secret.  He said it is here, the kids have the resources to buy the drugs, it is in the schools, overdoses are seen often in the ER, but no one talks about it, if they did no one would want to pay the extra money to live in such a sought-after community and school district.  SAY WHAT?!  This Deputy never investigated or helped us.  He never even filed a report.  The kids left my daughter on the side of a road, unseen to the public, in a physical state that was a medical emergency, to save their own asses, and not one of those kids will be prosecuted.
  Ari was transferred to Memorial hospital downtown for further medical and psychological evaluations, unfortunately, she never received additional medical services.  She laid there for 6-7 hours not being able to communicate, and just out of it.  She could understand what was being said to her, but that was it.  The hospital never flushed her, ran tests to make sure she was okay, nothing!  We were finally transferred to Wolfsons, and we got there about 2 am.  Ari could drink water, walk to the restroom, and talk some.  She has to this day very few memories of what all happened to her.   She was admitted for 24 hours and was able come home.  We returned to Wolfsons on Saturday because Arianna was struggling with her memory, dizzy, could not eat or drink, her speech was still jumbled, and she was still not able to stay awake.  After several more tests she was cleared and we went home with no answers, besides give the drugs some time to leave her system.  
  Ari then did a week of outpatient therapy at Wolfsons, to help with the trauma and anxiety she was experiencing.   Every day she worked for 8 hours with the staff to try to get her ready to be able to go to school and handle the stress and trauma she is sorting through.  Through the week Ari still was experiencing severe headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, and memory loss.  It was very noticeable to myself and the staff that something was wrong.  On the following Saturday Ari was admitted to the hospital again for 3 days under neurology.  They kept her very medicated to ease the headaches and hope to find some answers.  We are still not positive on the long-term effects of the unknown drug, but we are very lucky to have an amazing team at Wolfsons looking out for Ari.  
  Arianna is finally back in school; the school has been amazing helping her every step of the way.  She has a team in place to help her get through any emotional flashbacks, anxiety attacks, and 2 weeks of missed school.  She still is having memory issues, severe headaches, blurred vision, and severe emotional trauma that keeps her awake all night, but she is trying to push through it daily.
   Parenting is tough, raising a teen in the world today is tougher.  One bad decision, a decision that is legal in many states, and viewed by so many as a non-harming recreational drug, has changed our lives forever.  Yes, I am beyond blessed to say she made it, she is in school, she learned a tough lesson.  This will be a lesson she must relive over, and over again, every day, with no end in sight.  
  And to make it worse, the friend, she got grounded, that’s it.  The Saint Johns State Attorney feels that this neglect is not something to prosecute.   It is only a misdemeanor 1, so why waste their time.  Even though all three admitted to leaving Ari in a state of medical need, along the road, in an untraveled area.  I am heartbroken, that these kids will never be punished for what could have killed my daughter.

Because weed is far far cheaper than anything else which makes it happening extremely rare.

This whole scenario played out with my old boss’s son.


College kids partying at one of their families’ lakeside cottage.  Lots of drinking.  Apparently they had the idea that chewing oxycontin pain patches and  then taking a swallow of vodka was fine entertainment.  

Kid OD’d so they stuck him in a cold shower to no avail.  Then they stuck him in a sleeping bag and left him and continued their party.  They were afraid to call an ambulance so the lad died.

I say kid.  He was 21 or 22.  I went to the funeral. . Unfortunately the story I referred to was not made up AI stuff.

One of my fellow officers' daughter decided to try ecstasy when she was 17.   It had apparently been laced with PCP, she went into a coma and never woke up.  Its been 15 years and she is still in a permanent vegetative state.....or was, I dunno since I moved away a few years ago
