We were at a picnic on Sunday--more on that later--and Elijah was stung by a bee, twice actually! On his eyebrow!! Youch! Right away it started swelling and after some time, his eye was swollen shut! It happened shortly before his bedtime, so we gave him some medicine and put him to bed for the night. The next morning, most of his face was swollen, but we could see a sliver of his eye. Slowly...slowly, the swelling is going down and today we can almost see his whole eye.
This is his 4th & 5th bee stings since Abigail's birthday, which wasn't even a month ago! We always knew he was a sweet boy, but this confirms it! Seriously though, we're hoping for break from bee stings for the little guy, because each time, his body has reacted more and more severely to them. Everyone has been saying that the bees are out in full force this summer...hopefully we can keep them away from Elijah in these last couple days!

ohhh poor kid! Looks like he took it like a champ though ;) (that wink was for Elijah)
oh my goodness, poor little Eli, what a tough cookie! When Wyatt was in little league, he was standing in line with all his teamates, just about ready to begin the pledge of alliegance when a bee landed on his hand and stung him. He sat out the game, since this was his first sting and we weren't sure what his reaction would be. He stayed in the dugout and cheered his team on and at the end of the game the coach said Wyatt had made the best catch of the day, even before the game started:) Love you all, the california clan
bless his heart!!!
So...antihistimines on hand! Bee sting kits here we come. He is a trooper though!
Love you all,
Mom
