Fun Friday Ended in the ER!

I forgot my camera for our last fun Friday of this summer. It really was fun, until it was time to leave and I said to Kendra, "Ryan looks weird." I stole these pics from the park's website and Kendra's Blog.

Okay, so it all started when I went to pick Kendra up. My phone charger broke so I asked her to grab her cell phone. When we got to the park, we had a GREAT time. Ryan LOVED this splash park. Harrison, Carter and Abby spent most of the time in the man-made lagoon. It is a great place to go on a summer day.

So the chaos began when it was time to leave. As we are walking to the car, I notice Ryan looked different. K and I looked closer and realized his eyes were swelling...he was having an allergic reaction to something (we still don't know what) I called my PCP and the nurse told me to get him some Benadryl and if that doesn't work, head to the ER. Next, I tried to call JOE, while trying to find a pharmacy in a unfamiliar town. KENDRA"S PHONE STINKS! It kept cutting out. Joe had no clue what I was saying to him. I was frantic. Finally, we got meds, but still had not gotten through to Joe...he had heard emergency, but didn't know the details. The Benadryl did not help by the time we got to Nashua...in fact his eyes (especially the left one) were completely swollen shut. RJ and I got out at SNHMC ER and Kendra took Harrison, Carter, and Abby home. Joe met us at the ER, after finally being able to reach him. Ryan in on a steriod for 4 days and Benadryl every 4 to 6 hours. After his second dose of meds today, he looked much better. I did take some pics with Joes cell phone, I will try to have him add them to the blog. Poor baby.
