A bee sting = emergency room visit

I got a call from the kids' school saying Evan had been stung by a bee during recess. He was fine, we went to the park later that day, he didn't complain at all.
 
The next morning, however, we woke up to this. He still wasn't complaining much, so I decided to wait and see if the redness got better throughout the day.
 


Unfortunately, by the next day, it was so much worse, and we decided we better take him to the hospital. He couldn't even walk on it by this point.


Bryce was working that day, so he decided he would just come pick him up and take him. That way he could be the one to start his IV and get things going so it wouldn't be so scary for Evan. He was such a tough kid, didn't cry at all. He said the IV dad started didn't even hurt:)



Once at the hospital, the doctor said it was infected and that it happens all the time. I had no idea! So after IV antibiotics, he was sent home to continue taking them for the next 10 days. Thankfully it cleared up pretty quickly. So thankful for my awesome husband who can take our kids to the hospital in his sweet ride! Love my paramedic!
