Poor Tall Girl!


Our daughter had soccer camp this week. She was really excited about it. They got rained out Monday (bad thunderstorms) and part of Tues, Wed and Thurs! They were all such troopers though, running off to pile in a car or truck while the lightening passed. We even had to move the times up earlier in the day hoping to avoid the evening thunder showers; it didn't work. It has hardly rained all summer and this week it has decided to rain everyday...I brought them watermelon and grapes for the last three days because they just looked like they could use it!

So yesterday they are all hot and sweaty, she's standing in the goal practicing during the goalie clinic and a ball whizzes past her smacking into the goal frame...she gets back into position and then she says OW! She looks down to see a black bug flying off and looks up to see a few more coming at her and she takes off. There were huge wasps inside the upper beam and they were very angry to have been disturbed. She recieved a sting in that fleshy part between your thumb and first finger. OUCH!

Her little hand just swelled a bit at first. We gave her some pain reliever and allergy pill later. But all day today I've watched it continue to swell little by little. She toughed it out most of the time at soccer camp, but the last hour, she just couldn't take the throbbing anymore and wanted to stop. She also couldn't take people bumping into it.

Her had is now swollen from below her wrist up to the ends of her fingers. I plan on calling her doc's emergency line in the morning to see if there is anything I should do other than what we are already doing. She went to bed with a cold compress and the meds.

If you could say a little prayer for her I would appreciate it. She is just miserable.
