Saturday evening my kids were playing in my front yard with their friends Isabelle & Tori when Kara accidentially stepped into a huge fireant mound. Now, normally this would be no problem but on saturday she wasn't wearing any shoes or socks! Her foot now has between 15-20 fireant bites on it. Most are on or between the toes. we are now in "allergic reaction watch mode" doc said it could take up to 36 hours for a reaction to show up. Poor thing. Anyone who has had even ONE fireant bite knows how painful it is, I cant imagine being only 8 yrs old and dealing with that many bites. She screamed so loud it brought neighbors out of their houses and to our door to see if she was ok.
doc also said it could take anywhere from 10-14 days for them to go away.

In other news, we got a call tonight from Wills stepdad. Will's mom has been admitted to the hospital for observation. They *think* its gastro-related but they need to make sure its not her heart. evidentially the symptoms of a women having a heart attack are waaay diffeerent than a man and are similar to what the Mother in law is eperiencing.

My dad was not able to have the steel pin put in his hand, the bones were too badly crushed and they had to use screws.. three of them. He gets his cast changed tomorrow.

Please keep my family in your thoughts during these hectic crazy times.
