None days ago, Laura and I were enjoying a leisurely Saturday afternoon outside when Daniel accidentally stirred up a yellow jacket nest while playing with the water hose. Laura was stung at least 3 times. Did I mention that one of those times was on the lip?
After breaking out in hives, Kevin and I knew it was time to head to the ER. Rana met them there and sent this picture. Our sweet Laura never complained, instead she smiled and asked for "macaroni and cheese".
Scott and I had some work done in our back yard on Monday. The workers stirred up a yellow jacket nest and were stung as well. While digging around a day later, Balto was attacked by the angry mob. I looked up and he was running toward me wearing a "jacket" of about 15 yellow jackets on his back. Long story short....we made a trip to the vet for a Benadryl shot.
Scott decided that he wasn't taking any chances when it comes to his dogs. He ordered a bee suit and went nest hunting today.
Thankfully, Laura had something to celebrate soon after her visit to the ER. Two years ago, Laura's seizure doctor nominated her to Make-A-Wish. There is no place Laura loves more than the beach so she received a wish to go to Key Largo for the week. Here are some photos that Rana sent to me from the trip.
She was treated to a pedicure and manicure. Judging by the photos she really enjoyed having her nails done. What a happy surprise! I would have never guessed that she would enjoy this but I will remember for the future...
Both Kevin and Laura celebrated birthdays during this trip. Laura is now 15 years old. What a beautiful gift she is! I look forward to hearing all about their trip when they return tonight.
With Kevin's family out of town for 8 days, I had Dad to myself. Here's a picture of him on the phone with his brother Skee (Henry). Uncle Skee is 98 years old this month.
