Before and After

I had permission by the owner of these photos to post them on our blog. I know they aren't related to the house or anything, but this way I will have a record. This is the before:




And this is after:



I told her she should tell everyone she got in a fight and the other guy looks worse than her...Actually she was out in the backyard and was attacked by a wasp or a yellow jacket. It stung her multiple times around the eye on Sunday afternoon, then hid in her hair and was climbing around there too. A different one stung her stomach - but he only got her once. It began swelling last night, but wasn't too bad. She woke up this AM and her eye was completely swollen shut. Brad took her to the doctor and they gave her steroids and three different pills she is supposed to take for a week with one of them being a steroid (told her she couldn't be in the Olympics for a while), and one being nearly as big as a horse pill. She takes one one time a day, one twice a day, and one four times a day. Also she now has an epi-pen that she needs to take with her and use if she gets stung and begins to have an allergic reaction. Remember Pure Luck? It is just like when Martin Short gets stung - if Kaitlin can't breathe, she is supposed to stick herself in the leg with the epi-pen and then go to the hospital. We were given two of these - one for wherever Kaitlin is and one for school. She may not have an allergic reaction as severe as this ever again, they figure it was because there were multiple stings. I will take her back tomorrow so the doctor can check to make sure the swelling is going down. I can already tell it is as she can open her right eye just slightly now. When I went to Win Co tonight I bought a bag of chocolate eye balls as a treat. YUM!
