Thank goodness she did not in...Oh my dear my dear! Thank goodness she did not inherit her extreme allergy to bee stings that I have! When I was 4 I stepped on a bee in the small front yard of our house, by the time I got to the door of the house my Mom said my leg was the size of any elephants! I vaguely remember a trip to the Doctor, elevation swelling and pain! Poor Ellie, the pain! Poor Jennifer, trying to reward the kids, only to have all that sadness and drama and pain! There is a commercial here that shows something going horribly wrong (one of them shows a man on a trampoline jumping up and down getting ready to jump over the trampoline into a pool, instead he hits the side of the trampoline HARD in his groin area) a little ditty is playing and the announcer says "Life comes at 'ya fast" I think that day, life came at 'ya FAST!! Now you know stingers are a bit triangular, if it is sticking out it is probably a stinger. Ice, elevation, pediatric benadryl and ice cream are almost always extremely helpful. Kudos to you for going to the Dr. when you knew it would be such a pain. You always do the right thing, no matter what. You are an AMAZING Mom! Maybe I should write a children's book about being stung by a bee, and you could illustrate it. Think of how many Moms and kids would love to read that book after their very own experience. Hmmm......<br /><br /><br />XXOO,<br /><br />MimiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18746735.post-43393554516230867092009-05-01T05:44:00.000-07:002009-05-01T05:44:00.000-07:00Isn't it amazing how you try to do a simple task l...Isn't it amazing how you try to do a simple task like reward yourself for good behavior and things go so pear shaped? <br /><br />It's also amazing how most doctors are pent up in school and reading books so long they lose the basics of life experience. Then they get stuck in a hospital where the clientle is also limited to hospital types. I think doctors should have to do travel doctoring and house calls because it's only when you get out and experience life do you learn to remedy the problems that occur! <br /><br />But that may just be my opinion...meghannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18746735.post-60407540859650999632009-04-29T20:09:00.000-07:002009-04-29T20:09:00.000-07:00Poor little Ellie - hope her foot has recovered no...Poor little Ellie - hope her foot has recovered now?

I am ...Oh my...that certainly was an eventful day! I am so glad that it wasn't a jellyfish, but so sorry that Ellie got a bee sting. I can't believe that the doc at the hospital couldn't come up with that (actually, really it doesn't surprise me, but at least it wasn't a long wait). And thank goodness for grandmothers!! <br /><br />I hope that Ellie is feeling better now and I am super glad she's not allergic to bees! Sending her lots of hugs and kisses (and some for the rest of you too!)Karlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331946055848734042noreply@blogger.com
