Symptom narrative

Patient is here for her well-child check. She was given her HPV vaccine at the start of the visit approx. 8:56 am. She was sitting on the bench next her mom said I feel tired, slumped to the right and had brief loss of consciousness. She came to and we transferred her up onto the exam room table. An urgent response was called. We reentered the room mom noticed that her eyes were fluttering, she is holding her head turned to the right. She was minimally responsive, but able to identify where she is at and answer simple questions. Her speech is quite dysarthric. She seemed to have a slight droop of her right face, and tongue deviates to the right when protruded. Pupils are equal round reactive to light, but she has a lagging gaze with some horizontal nystagmus. Initially when she smiled there was drooping on the right but that has subsequently resolved. She continues to hold her head turned to the right. Decision was made to activate EMS for transport to the hospital. On their arrival, she still had dysarthric speech but was starting to joke and asked to go to school. She was able to stand and transfer to the stretcher with some support, though still seems weak. Continues to have a slight rightward head tilt, but has a symmetric smile now. We are approximately 40 minutes out from vaccine administration.
