Stepmom had severe food poisoning while camping. Got whisked away by the ambulance. She blacked out 3 times. 3rd time I had a panic attack because I thought she stopped breathing. The first time camping in years....and it goes downhill on the first night.....
Tuesday August 25th 1:27am.
My panic attack from earlier has made me hyper-vigilant and unable to sleep. I almost want to scream but I can't. My nephew is asleep beside me and the dogs are asleep at our feet. I can't sleep and I want to stay awake in case people try sneaking into our campsite.
The host is nice and has done a lot for us already and has invited my nephew and I over for breakfast in the morning. We accepted as he wants to help us make phone calls. The only problem is stepmom has the RV keys in her purse (and she's at the hospital) so I don't know how we are going to get home. It's stressful and difficult..
I just.....don't know what to do. This is hard and I want to protect Aidan more than anything....it has been an exhausting night but my mind won't stop....it won't shut up and I hate it.

Stepmom got back to the camp site safe and sound but I was in the motorhome for most of the day due to the heat and needing to read and just shut my mind off for a while and engross myself in my Magnus Chase book by Rick Riordan.
After the sheer panic attack last night I needed to blank out and force my mind to relax. I took a nap after but I'm still a bit frantic mind-wise. Stepmom is still dealing with the after-effects of food poisoning but hopefully we'll do stuff a little tomorrow. We go home Thursday morning.

Had bacon, eggs, and pancakes for breakfast. It was very good. Had a decent sleep last night. Today is another day of relaxing. We're having chicken legs and pasta salad for dinner so I'm looking forwards to that.

Packed up most of the motorhome after dinner and dishes, now I'm sitting by the fire after I spoke sternly to my nephew about disrespect. We leave tomorrow morning which means I'll be home early.
