We started off the day at 2:00 with my daughter in the emergency room because of a spider bite - or at least that's what we are guessing was hiding in her roller blades and stung her foot twice! She started complaining last night about her leg hurting but it'd been awhile since she'd skated so much and it seemed like it might just be a pulled muscle. Then her other leg and both knees... then her chest... but could breathe just fine. But cried and cried and just couldn't get to sleep for more then a few minutes at a time. Called the nurse and was told to go to ER.
So as I jolted my daughter and I out of the house, I told my sleeping husband what was up and to take the boy to daycare and go to work and I'd call him. I set out VD cards and out the door we went.
In the ER, when the dr finally comes in he says to her "so... you didn't want to go to school today huh?" NO. It's a day off at her school as a matter of fact - Mr-you-who-thinks-you-know-so-much. He looks her over in about 30 seconds and says that he doesn't think there's anything wrong but just to be sure, she should take this and that.
Call my husband and turns out he can come home from work so as he walks in the door with his card in hand, he hands me one and out the door I go. Worked all day. Waiting for our elegant bagel pizzas to be done and then I'm totally off to bed.
She currently has a stinging sensation at site of bite that worsens when she stands. And what may be hives on her shoulders. Fun. Good thing we've got some benedryl and stuff.
