The six-year-old had no known allergies but it became immediately clear something was wrong when, her parents say, Serena's lips doubled in size, and she started to have trouble breathing and swallowing. It's what happened next that has her parents filing a complaint with the hospital and the province's Order of Nurses. "We didn't even sit down, and [the nurse] didn't even seem fazed by what was happening," said Rosie Carpetti, Serena's mother. According to her, the nurse didn't even check Serena before telling the parents to go to a pharmacy to buy the antihistamine Benadryl. Serena's parents question why the hospital itself didn't provide the medication.
