Her Dad Wasn’t Worried
Though her dad wasn’t excessively worried, he called 911, and Kamri was immediately rushed to the hospital. Her father, Ben Thompson, followed behind. At first, he thought everything was going to be fine. They’d likely give her some anti-venom and observe her for a few hours or overnight. He’d been to The Slab for the last 20+ summers and had never had an issue with a Water Moccasin; they’re around, but they usually stay away from people!

The Heartbreaking News
With her father hopeful and Kamri trying to think positively, the doctors had something else in store for them. Usually, it is as easy as administering anti-venom, but everyone had forgotten one little detail: Kamri was pregnant! Anti-venom isn’t an option for pregnant women because these and other medicines aren’t tolerated very well. Her tiny, unborn baby wouldn’t be able to handle such strong medication, and the means of providing it were just too horrible to think about.
