It was one or more of the following: 1) It was in the purse/backpack/whatever they left in the car totally accidentally. 2) It got left in the car because they figured they'd be within 2 minutes of it the whole time. 3) It got left at home because the kid's asthma was well-controlled with daily meds and they thought they knew all the triggers the kid had, and encountered a new one in the corn field. 4) The kid is usually responsible during day-to-day stuff, but got excited by the outing and forgot. (Can you tell I've seen all of the above while working with the Boy Scouts? :) Off-off-topic: You think an attack in a cornfield is bad, it could be worse. When I take my Scout troop on the trail, we always have a check at the trailhead that those who need inhalers or Epi-pens have them and that both they and I know where they are. 8 miles from the nearest road is *not* where you want to be fumbling around looking for the Epi-pen. ############################ To unsubscribe from the LSTSRV-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=LSTSRV-L&A=1
