Our second trip to urgent care involved a bee sting. The actual sting occurred the night before, but continued to swell and swell throughout the following day until Jaden could no longer bend his fingers and a dark red line began moving from the sting site on his middle finger up his arm (notice the marker on his arm - the outline of the red line). The pediatrician recommended that we go to urgent care. They were unable to determine if it was an allergic reaction or cellulitis. He received both a steriod and TWO injections (in his bottom delivered simulateously by 3 nurses) of antibiotic. We followed up with the doctor the following day and he made a terrific recovery. Just a little added excitement!
