Will's First (and hopefully only) Trip to the ER

We had to take Will to Children's Hospital ER on Sunday Night. Around 7 pm, he was stung by a wasp on his right foot. Since he is only 4 months old, the on-call pediatrician and paramedics thought it was best to have him checked at the hospital. They were worried about any possible allergic reactions.

He screamed for about 45 straight minutes. The paramedic said this was good because it meant the sting wasn't affecting his breathing.




I was totally freaked out especially when the paramedics arrived at our house. Even though, it was a minor injury, it truly is a mother's worst nightmare.




Once we got to the ER, we were seen within 20 minutes. Will laughed and smiled at all the staff. I was so happy he was acting like his normal self. After seeing the doctor, he was cleared with a clean bill of health. We got home around 10:15 pm and went to bed.
