Frustration with fire ants

So our new world revolves fire ants now.... They are so small and tiny but they now officially run our lives! We took Katie Grace to her appointment with the allergist yesterday and things didn't go as I planned them. I thought the appointment was going to be a little soon as soon as they called and gave Russ the appointment but we went anyway so we could get a "plan". So in we go at 2:30 in the afternoon with no nap! (because we got her hearing checked at 11 so there was no time for a nap and she was ILL). It was all a big mess. With KG being loud because she was bored and RUss getting irritated with how loud she was being.

So we finally see Dr. Raby after about 45 mins of waiting. Dr. Raby informed us that can't do the testing until she has been 3 weeks since the reaction. Yay! That stinks that we have to wait that long to know what to expect next time. We left with a sheet of paper that tells us if she gets bit again to give her benadryl, shoot her witht he epi -pin and call 911 or get her to the ER as quickly as possible. Boy this should be a blast when she goes back to daycare and then school!

On a side note, Russ and I were playing with the epi practice pin last night and he was 'injecting' it into his leg. So then he gets the bright idea that she is going to do it to KG and she brusts into tears! I mean big huge crocodile tears! To say the least she didn't not like that!

  1. That stinks that the appointment didn't go well and that you have to go back. It may be time to put her in a bubble. I'll go in halfsies with you, and we'll stick Suttie in there, too!
