A Bit Of A Reaction


You've heard the saying "things can happen in a flash".  Well, that happened to us last week.  Abby & I were outside waiting for Aubrey to get off the school bus.  Abby ran to the back yard & when the bus turned to come towards our house she ran back towards me in the driveway.  As she was running towards me I noticed that she had a bump under her right eye.  It didn't seem to bother her at all...there were no tears, no itching & no complaining.  I started to examine it & it looked a lot like a bee or wasp sting but she didn't act like it.  I quickly gave her some Benadryl but it continued to swell...bigger & bigger.  I took her to a local urgent care center.  After they examined her, they did not think that it was some type of a sting but simply allergies.  She was prescribed an allergy eye drop which seemed to help a little bit.  She continued to have swelling that came & went for about 4 days.  Thankfully, it is now gone.  We are now hoping that it doesn't come back.
