SERIOUS Allergic Reaction After Hospital Screw-up!
SERIOUS Allergic Reaction after hospital screw-up!
Malin & Tom
Malin is still in the hospital, and suffering from a potentially serious allergic reaction after the hospital made a huge mistake. It's panic-mode all round as the doctors realise what a huge error this could be.
For those of you who have followed our battle with colon cancer, you might remember that Malin has a very serious allergy towards the iodine-based contrast solution that is used during CT scans, and her allergy specialist decided that she should NEVER be given the contrast solution. However, due to the seriousness of Malin's abdominal pains, the doctors decided that Malin needed to have a CT scan with contrast, so they would give her pre-medication to help a potential allergic reaction. That's where the mistake was made...
A year ago, Malin was diagnosed with an aggressive form of colon cancer and has since undergone radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and two major operations, leaving her with a permanent colostomy. They also removed her colon, uterus, and more. Although the second of these operations was 6 months ago, Malin is still struggling with the aftermath, and although her colon cancer isn't there any more, she still has many issues and scars from the battle.

Thanks for the incredible support, you lot are the best 🧡 Feel free to follow along with the journey on Instagram! 📸 bit.ly/3NiiFET
The lack of communication amongst the drs is worrying and horrendous to be honest it really shouldn't happen 😢
They are just worried of a lawsuit. I would be furious!! Like you haven’t been through enough!!😡
What an ordeal. I am shocked that such a huge mistake was made given your prior allergy history. Best wishes for a full recovery.
So glad you are okay Malin!
Hi Tom and Malin This is such terrible news that they gave you something you were not supposed to have. It’s basically the same in Uk and a bit irresponsible . Let’s hope that they find out what the problem is and able to correct this by.medication.I do hope Malin😢 that you will get this sorted so you can have time to heal as it’s been one thing after another Much love and respect from across the pond in Uk

There thinking $ signs. She's ok.
Certainly they could have seen what is going on instead of putting her life at risk?? And Malin even tried to tell them, wow!
So DISGUSTING from the hospital. Hate careless medical staff!
Even if you drive the van all winter round and round your neighborhood .., consider yourselves immensely lucky: you have each other and you seem to be so much in love😊❤
I hate that this happened to you but thankfully they found their mistake and admitted it, and treated you quickly.
Happy Birthday, Malin!! ❤🎉 We love you all! ❤❤❤❤
im sorry you both have to go thru this. each person knows their own body, WHY don't they listen to Malin, SHE knows she is allergic to this iodine! miscommunication at hospitals, NO GOOD! on another note Malin looking beautiful as ever.. I hope she had a nice 30th birthday. hope she is feeling better.
Prayers, blessings and love to you Malin, Tom and the kids ❤
Oh guys, so sorry that you have had to go through all that on top of everything else! Seems unimaginable that a such a huge mistake was made. You are such a beautiful family and I wish nothing but health and happiness for you. I would normally say "Is there anything I can do to help you" but as I live in London it seems a futile offer really. Love and hugs to you all ❤
Dear Lord, please give this beautiful, positive, kind Family a serious break. Allow them some happy, worry free times. Although a stressful frightening period, I hope the birthday celebrations were enjoyable for you both. Sending you both positive and loving vibes. Beth xx
We love you both and thank you for your honesty. Sad the hospital made such a awful mistake. Please please stand your ground if your gut says opposite to hospital. Your body and you are precious.God bless
Please use your own understanding and refuse treatment if it is what it is. It's normal for these mistakes to happen in today's hectic medical world, and you don't have to put aside your own objections and trust yourself and your own judgment. It's a simple fact and even 10 doctors can be wrong if they work long shifts and have far too many patients and the pressure from their superiors to get quick results. Wish you all the best.
Glad to see that you guys can still smile with everything that is going on. Happy Birthday, Malin!
Your feelings of frustration and quite frankly anger (I know I would be pissed) at this major f*** up is understandable! Like you said, there would be hell to pay if something like this happened here in the United States. I hope things have settled down a bit and that Malin’s team of doctors have a good plan in place for her. You all are such a beautiful, fun, loving family and I wish you nothing but good vibes from here on out! Take care! Hugs!
Bless your hearts Malin and Tom. I can’t believe you can’t Sue there. My 1st major back surgery : the Surgeon performed the wrong surgery which landed me in an emergency major spinal surgery 5 months post op. I was in such a bad mental state, my disability Judge advised me to sue, but I didn’t and regret not doing so as he performed numerous “ Wrong Spinal Surgeries “on many after me. But thank God for keeping you free of a really bad reaction. I am so glad that you get a free pass home for Your special day and for Charlie’s Birthday. I pray that all goes well and your past the worse of the reaction( which should not have happened) the hospital shouldn’t charge you for any test, meds etc. due to the Huge Misktake they made. Praying your home now and doing great sweetie. I love you both bunches. Karla in Oklahoma

Happy birthday dear Malin 🎉❤😊
Ooh GOD BLESS you Malin and family. Hope and pray you and your little sd on gave a wonderful Birthday of all Birthdays. God speed and Bless you. Love you a fan from Tennessee, USA❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
What a scare. Shame on those Drs for their idiotic mismanagement. 😰 Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out. Edge of seat stuff. 😣❤❤❤❤
OMG....what a horrible ordeal. So sorry you had to experience this. Total lack of communication! Even after you told them you were suppose to have the dye solution orally! Stupid doctors. Maybe you can get one of those medical bracelets that says what you are allergic to and wear at all times. And if you have to go back in the hospital you can get a sharpie pen and write what you are allergic to on your arm....ha...that might be a bit too much, but you have to make sure this nevers happens again. Happy Birthday Malin🎉. Happy Birthday to Charlie as well🎉. He is so young that he would be happy with a cake, balloons and people singing Happy Birthday. Praying that you have recovered now and that you are feeling better. Your children are so adorable. ❤️❤️🙏🙏❤❤
Happy birthday, Malin!
So sorry to hear about what happened. Sending love and all positive vibes your way 💜
Malin, you are younger than my youngest grandson. So sorry for this mess up. ❤ Happy birthday to you both!
Have had my fair share of doctor's inability to deal with any sort of objections from patients. Assault on their inflated egos?
God be with the both of you and your kiddos 💜💜🐞🙏😇👍
Hi Malin & Tom, so sorry to hear what happened to you. Keep your spirits up, have a great 30th birthday (and Charlie). Lots of love from Ireland.
I am so sorry you have been through this. The emotions you have are entirely natural and healthy. It is scary that this can happen and that you angry. The hospital team are probably horrified but it should never have been able to happen. I remain hopeful that you will be able to travel once this is sorted out. Of course, Happy Birthday to yourself and Charlie. Of course, your birthday is important.
OMG! So sorry this happened to you Malin! I can’t believe they made such a big mistake! I’m glad you are ok and they figured out what is causing your stomach issues. That’s good that you were able to go home to celebrate your birthday as well as your son’s. Wishing you all the best as you get through this next health hurdle as well as selling your house and getting your van ready for your adventures! ❤️💗
Ugh. I'm so sorry you had to go through that scare! Hopefully, by the time you read this, things are looking a little brighter. I'm glad you are getting the medical care and checks that are needed. Here's hoping for a lovely fall. As for winter, that's a ways off yet, hopefully! (But I see some white stuff is forecasted for us next week here in central Canada. 😢) One day at a time. Praying for joy for each day for you, Malin and Tom. And Happy Belated Birthday, Malin! 🎉
Malin you such a sweet person...God be with you..! Love your smile
Prayers on this crazy journey. Mange tak for sharing your highs and lows. 🌻
What a shitty thing to happen. I'm also allergic to contrast media, and have that same fear someone will make a mistake.
So sorry to hear that you are having a bad time😟 thinking of you all. I wish Malin and Charlie a very happy birthday. You guys have got this!💙💙
The good news is that you know you can have IV Contrast now!!! Definitely improves image! 😊

It does, but the IV do damage my liver and kidneys every time I get it. So having it still is a risk and can be life threatening even if it’s not a immediate reaction.
Your bravery humbles me. Both of you are so very strong. Things will work out I am sure. What's that song???? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Your love will see you through this. Hugs and best wishes from Bonnie Scotland.
Awww Tom what a worry for you but glad Malin is okay 😳 Phew thank goodness all is ok ❤ hugs to you both!! HAPPY BIG 30TH BIRTHDAY Malin, love from Australia 🎂🎁🎈🎉
Dear family, everything¡s gonna be alright as long as you have each other and your beautiful kids. This is the most important thing. You. 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Happy Birthday Mailin!!
That is so wrong! How can they miss something so important!!!!!! Lex Maria anmälan! 😢❤
You got this guys. Happy 30th and birthday Charlie ❤❤❤
You guys have got each other and will get through this❤️
Oh, Jesus, I'm so sorry! I have severe allergies too, and it is so not good!! Best wishes for Malin and I hope they can get things under control sooner than later. Truly terrible, and these types of mistakes happen too often. I hate the hangover from all of the steroids, Benadryl, epinephrine, etc. It's truly miserable, but I've also been through it numerous times. Take care!!
Oh dear people…. No, it never stops…. Happy Birthday, Malin!…. I hope Charlie enjoyed his cake!…
Oh bless you, what an ordeal to go through. Hope it goes ok and you have a full recovery.
I’m very allergic to the contrast as well. It’s so scary. Sending an abundance positive thoughts ♥️
Seriously, no need go apologize for sharing your life with us so sincerely and genuinely! It would seem inauthentic any other way!
You have each other and yes you have all of us ❤️❤️ xx
I'm allergic to Contrast too. Thank God I was in the Hospital for my CT Scan when we found out I was allergic to it because my throat started to close & swell.

Omg how the hell could they make such a horrendous mistake. So glad you are ok Malin. Continuous flow of healing reiki energy sent..🕯💜🕯💜🕯💜
Hello you two. My first time finding you. So sorry you had such a huge mistake pushed upon you. How awful. I’m in the USA and yes, we’d be suing the hell out of them. Not just for the money but to make sure protocols are in place so that this doesn’t happen again. I’m so happy you get to celebrate your big birthday and Charlie’s birthday at home. The silver lining for sure. Cheers!
Happy birthday Malin, may this coming year be so good to you!
Best of luck guys! And Happy Birthday to Malin and Charlie!
Love you both!
Wow Marlin as if you haven't been through enough they had to put you through more. I'm Sorry that happened to you , I know it's hard when Dr's are saying it's ok give it to her, you go along with it thinking you don't want to act like you know more then them but they could have potentially have taken you out with that BIG mistake! I'm happy to see you got through it but someone should look into it so it doesn't happen again , you have a future in front of you hope this never happens again! I wish you Marlin a happy, healthy and safe Birthday with lots of love surrounding you , may God Bless you with many more! Charlie happy hope your day is full of fun and love with loads of cake to be eaten .....XOXOXO
Love you guys. So sorry for this glitch in your plans. I know you won't give up without a fight. And maybe it will be something that is easy to fix so your family can be on its way traveling. Much love and prayer for you all ❤
I’m wishing you the very best of luck.
So sorry all this has happened to you! So scary and frustrating. Hoping Malin and Charlie have a wonderful birthday celebration and everything gets back on track. Hugs and prayers and happy vibes to your family ❤
Love and prayers for you both 💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏
Sending you so much love and support.
I’ve been watching you guys and your adventures for awhile now from Australia. It’s hard to see you going through so much, hang in there. You’re such a wonderful couple. It’s awesome you get to go home happy birthday Malin and Charlie whatever you do you have an amazing day.
Oh my goodness! Praying for things to calm down and no other symptoms arise! Happy Birthday!🎉
I am sorry to hear about the problems you were having with the hospital doctor, Malin and Tom.
This person needs to be fired😡😡😡thank God you are ok❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻i would raise hell😡😡😡
Bless you sweetheart ❤ , so so sorry you had to go through all that 😢 hope you have a lovely birthday and Charlie too 🎉🎉🎉 x
Sending positive healing thoughts and prayers from Seattle!
You two are so lovely. So much love between you. Your little ones are so sweet. Happy Birthday Malin and Charlie. 🎉
MALPRACTICE IS DONE ALOT!! Please speak up. I’m praying 🙏 for you ❤
Yesterday I had my first reaction to CT contrast and it was really scary! I have had 5 CT scans (3 with contrast) and a PET scan in the past 12 months due to cancer and other health issues, and I still need have to have a nuclear medicine bone scan and another CT scan, but my body is saying it has had enough. 😢 I am under the care of multiple specialists that wont work together and combine my scans or look at the results of previous scans (apparently its too hard for them to obtain them) so I have had to have repeat scans for different specialists. I have had a reaction and been exposed to too much radiation now so I need to advocate for myself. ❤
Love you guys so much, your positivity makes me smile. I’m praying for you guys from Tulsa Oklahoma USA.
Happy birthday Malin and Charlie!!! Best wishes for the year ahead and better times which you so deserve. I’m so sorry to hear of your allergic reaction - poor Tom was beside himself 🤗🤗🤗🤗. They would have been worried about anaphylaxis and inability to breathe. So, so scary. Fingers crossed the gynae surgery helps. I’m living in my tiny Toyota Hiace but it’s just me. Good luck packing up the house!!! Much love 😘😘😘😘
I've learned so much about this you have to advocate for yourself and while we don't have medical degrees we so know our bodies. So sorry you are going through more. Sending energy to you !
I’m so sorry you went through all that. Happy birthday 🎉🎁🎂 Hugs and prayers from Alabama
Both of you are beautiful sweet people and your kids are adorable. Thank you for sharing your ups and downs.
I am so sorry for the mistake they made. You are in my prayers that all turns out ok for you.
Crikey what a roller coaster for you. Hope you have a lovely birthday celebration, both birthdays!!
I'm so sorry for this mix up. It's so unfortunate. You have overcome so much to have to deal with something like this. I would be upset about it as well. I hope your able to celebrate both your Birthdays. Happy Birthday to you both! ❤
I was directed to your channel today and I am very sorry for the ordeal you had to go through. I send you much strength and healing energy to you dear Malin ❤ Aswell hope you had a wonderful Birthday. God bless and a big hug from Germany ♥️♥️♥️

Very sweet , you 2. I’ve followed along a bit since just before your surgery, malin. This is the first time I felt an ease in you both telling it like it is -heavy for you both but for me just feeling the love you both have and the pain you, Tom, feel in seeing someone you love going through such a tough time. Love that you have each other! Hang in there, malin. A beach has your name on it and it’ll be calling u soon! ♥️. Looking forward to happier times and lots more travel adventures with your littles swenglers!😊😊
You're a wonderful couple. ❤ you together will manage this. Rooting so hard for you. ❤
So glad you got a diagnosis that is not sinister. So sorry you had to go through the IV stuff up.
I live in Pennsylvania in the USA. I learned I was allergic to all kinds of IV dye when I had my 1st procedure, stroked, and near died. FF 2022, I was needing scans for surgery and they insisted in xray I had to get IV benadryl and get the dye so they could do my heart procedure right. At 1st I refused, but my heart was bad so I did it. My breathing pipe began to close, rash, so on. The head of surgical department said I should not have had it no matter what. Thank God I'm alive. My kids want me to sue them all, but I'm just glad I made it. (And yes, suit is in process) I'm so sorry this happened to you!! They need to heed patients when we tell them this important information. Love, hugs, and prayers to you hon❤
👍 love you guys and your lovely children, i hope everythings sorted out now and i hope you had a fabulous birthday and party ❤❤
AMG so sorry to hear about this huge mistake but so happy to hear you are okay. Stay healthy and happy much ❤your way. Happy Birthday to you and Charlie
Happy Birthday to Malin and Charlie!🎂
