OK, so we were having a family over for dinner, friends of ours, and their son is Tyler's age...it was to be a casual, fun night with dogs, hamburgers, and those "coolers". Bob and I decide to clean up the family room in the basement....of course, since the room is in the basement it is a slight bit damp down there, WELL, Mr. Williams had some kind of allergic reaction, started sneezing, and rubbing his eyes. Comes upstairs while i continue to clean, by the time i get upstairs, his eyes are HORRIBLE. Pasted shut, and very, very swollen. He looked totally gross. Since he does take blood pressure medicine, we didn't know if he could take Benadryl - called one of my nurse friends, she said one tablet. NOTHING helped. So, about 3 hours after he started the reaction, it is just getting worse and we go to my friend's (the nurse) house to show her - she says, "go to the hospital".
To make a LONG, frustrating story short, and 5 hours later, we are finally home. We knew he just needed a shot of something....but the person who signed us in in emergency, mistakenly signed us in for the "real" emergency, instead of express emergency.....4 hours later, we were FINALLY where we were supposed to be! I'm trying to keep him home from work tomorrow, don't think he should drive a car....I'm home also to nurse him (yea, right! - DO this Bob, DO that Bob, you're home now, chores, chores, chores

).
OH, and of course, Jenny, I received NO message from Bryan that you called....thank goodness you mentioned on here.
Bryan wouldn't have any urgency in his voice, unless it was ALL about him, and something wasn't going HIS way!
BUT, gotta give the old kid this, he DID stay home with his brother tonight.
Bob and I had NOT eaten all day, expecting to have picnic food tonight...let's just say, we BOTH had quite a headache till we got out of that hospital - McDonalds for us tonight!
More tomorrow....YEA, Bill and Alice, just a FEW days....all your girls will be there, Bill...remember, Jenny is buying EVERYONE drinks!
