GOTTA GO!

Yesterday was a beautiful day here and after lunch Donny went to play on the front porch. I was on the phone with Aunt Karen standing at the front door watching Donny play. He was standing at the edge of the porch and all of the sudden his feet are in the air, his head is in the planter and his entire body flips over onto the sidewalk. I say "GOTTA GO!" hang up on Aunt Karen, run outside and scoop up Donny. I take him inside and check him out, no visible damage. He is very upset and through his tears says to me, "It's not a beautiful day to be outside." I kiss his boo-boos away and he is ready to return to the porch to play. I advise him to take the stairs this time. He takes my advice and proceeds to fall down the three stairs to the front porch. Thankfully, he recovers quickly.

I call Aunt Karen back to fill her in on what just happened and why I hung up on her. Just as I am explaining the horrific fall and say that I thought for sure Donny would have to go to the ER, Abigail starts screaming. I look over and she has a bee in her mouth. I say "GOTTA GO!" hang up on Aunt Karen AGAIN and scoop up Abigail. She has been stung in the lower lip (same spot Donny was stung two summers ago and still has a bump) and in the cheek. Her lip and cheek are starting to swell, so I decide that Abigail will be the one going to the ER.

After an hour and a half in the ER, we were sent home. Abigail didn't need medication and I am hoping there won't be a next time, but the way things go in this house, it's just a matter of time. A HUGE thank you to Miss D for allowing me to practically do a tuck-n-roll Donny drop off at her house so he didn't have to sit in the ER. Very kind of her considering we spent all morning playing at her home. Thank you Miss D!!!!

I took this photo about six hours after she was stung.
