The patient.

Zach is allergic to bees. On Friday a bee stung him in the eyebrow.

The result:
monday 001

He took three Benadryl right after it happened, which pretty much did nothing but make him extra drowsy. We went to Urgent Care first, but they wouldn't take him and sent us to the Emergency Room instead. We then spent four hours of our Friday night in various E.R. waiting rooms.

monday 002
Due to the Benadryl he kept answering all the nurses' questions with "I don't know." or completely the wrong information. I had to take over a few times.

monday 003
He is looking much better as of yesterday evening, and no longer looks like Will Smith from Hitch. Which is good.

Ahhh, poor Z.
Yes, I immediatly thought Hitch when I saw the pics. Plus Benadryl? I hope you are at a point where the two of you can laugh about it now. :)

Poor Zachito! He needs to stay away from those bees.

You forgot to mention the part about showing his picture to your primary children and scaring the Bejesus out of them.

Poor Zachy!! I'm just glad his allergy isn't any worse than that (and that's bad enough). How long did it take for that huge eye to go away?

((and I am reading "Water for Elephants and loving it, btw))
