Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

My brother, Matt is playing hockey for Liberty, a D-1 Club school and his team headed out to nationals this weekend in Ohio.  My mom, dad, and sisters Haley and Tori drove over to watch him play.  Last night while they were there playing, some of the players started complaining of headaches and some were puking.  They finally decided to evacuate the building and start testing some of the players for Carbon Monoxide.  Sure enough, they were all testing positive! Then they decided they better start testing everyone at the rink, and EVERYONE was testing positive ( probably about 400 people)!  They had actually set up a triage center in the parking lot of the hotel to test everyone!! My mom had tested high enough (22%-the highest my dad heard anyone had tested) that they decided she needed to go immediately in an ambulance to the hospital (which she documented with her camera as you can imagine!).  The treatment for high carbon monoxide is oxygen therapy, which my mom received in the ambulance so by the time she arrived at the hospital, her levels were much lower.  She still stayed in the hospital for two hours to receive oxygen.  The rest of my family got on the bus to head to the downtown hospital to get oxygen therapy as well.  My dad decided he didn't need it as he was only slightly dizzy while others were puking! So he went back with my mom and when she was done, they headed out to get my sisters.  Everyone is ok and no permanent damage was done, thank God! This is incredibly scary because as we all know carbon monoxide poisoning can be deadly! We are just thankful they figured it out in time and that no one was permanently injured!  They will resume playing tomorrow! And my family is headed back to Chicago today because of work tomorrow!
