Richard was stung by a bee while we were up in Seattle last time. That day was a bad day...the same day that we lost Bentley. Richard and Kenna were playing in the stream behind the Kenyon's house and Richard accidently stepped on a bee hive. The next night, Richard's leg looked like this...
Can you see how swollen and red it is? On Sunday I made Richard go to the urgent care center to get it looked at because the Benedryl wasn't doing anything to help. They told him he had a staff infection and gave him a shot of antibiotics and then two more pills to take at home. They drew the red line on him and told him that if the swelling or redness didn't get significantly better by the next day to go to the emergency room. Well the next day it wasn't better, so we went to Richard's doctor to get a second opinion. She said it was just swollen from the bee sting and gave him a steroid to help with the swelling. It worked amazingly! The next day it was 90% better! We were glad that we went for the second opinion!
Richard of course had a lot of fun with the kids (all the cousins). He told them the line was for where they would cut off his leg if it didn't get better. He is such a tease.
