late this afternoon Bo got uncontrollably upset. I thought maybe he was just tired so I put him in his crib. He screamed worse. I got him back out and held him. He kept rubbing his head and crying. I looked where he was touching and there was a big swollen lump and a rash. we had come in from outside before his outburst started. I finally called Dean for back up since I couldnt get Bo to calm down and Zeke was starting to cry too. I called the pediatrician and was waiting for a call back when Dean got home from work. He held Bo for a while and decided to take him to the ER. we couldnt get him to get up and move around or seem interested in anything and his arms were twitching. If we moved him he’d cry more.

they were only gone for little over an hour which suprised me. They said his actions were normal for a toddler being bit by a bug(or stung by a bee) He’s been asleep on the sofa since they’ve been home. He wakes up every now and then, cries and goes back to sleep. I’m not convinced this is normal even for a first time bee sting in a toddler, he is so lethargic and in obvious pain. Please pray he perks up soon or at least doenst get worse through the night. I am so worried about him.  ugh…now he’s got a temperature of 102.2.   This cant be normal can it?? I wish I knew what to do….

    I would take him back to the ER if he isn’t better if I were you. That does not sound normal. It sounds like he is having an alergic reaction.
    I really hope he is feeling better soon. Poor Kiddo!
