Wasp Sting

Swollen middle finger
Daddy's Wegmans hat

Ahhh!!!

This is how Landon rode in his first car ride in his new chair. "I could get used to this..."

The Sunday after the craft show, Landon got stung by a wasp. I was doing dishes and he was scrounging for dropped cheerios and he made the squeal sound he makes when he gets stuck. I looked over and saw that he wasn't stuck, so I went to investigate. (It is getting warmer now and I will be forever worried about snakes in the house) I went over and saw a wasp trying to walk away with its stinger up in the air kind of crooked. I knew right away that he grabbed it and got stung. (he has caught a ridiculous about of bugs lately. He even picked up a fly before it could take off! He should automatically get a black belt for that, right?) So I saw a red dot on the inside of his hand an just assumed that was where it was. James (as he was ready to leave and go to work) made me sit down and check him over to make sure there weren't any more stings. Well, I had the wrong hand completely. His other hand had a pretty could cut on the middle finger from the stinger, but it had already fallen out. I then noticed how swollen it was. So of course, I panicked trying to remember if I had any swelling when I got stung by a bee. Luckily for us, our Pediatrician's office is open on the weekends to the public and I was able to call and talk to a nurse. Later that evening, I had to make a run to Wegmans to pick up a prescription for an antibiotic that James had accidentally left out of the fridge overnight and went bad. So, we met James for his dinner break. He was quite the busy guy, even on his break and now I know that on Sunday nights, it won't be worth going to visit him. It was nice to see him in action though and Landon loved his hat. We drove home in an insane rain storm and I was so glad that we made it home safely.
