Just a Little Something

Well a few things to write about...yesterday I was sick with some stinkin' virus that made me so sick and the worst part is that I had the same thing a few weeks ago! The only good thing about it is that it only lasts about a day. The days after that I just take slowly meaning I can't eat everything I want to eat. Sunday we were at my father in-law's for a BBQ and the kids were playing around with their cousins. Ellie was having a fun time picking flowers but she didn't know that later on it would cause an allergic reaction. On our way to Layton she had rubbed her eyes and a little bit later she was crying and saying that her eyes hurt and that they itched a lot. I had a bottle of water and Shannon had a bandanna she used it to pat her eyes....it helped and soon Ellie fell asleep. Everything was quiet as we were driving along when Shannon says "daddy, Ellie's eye is all swollen." I immediately turned my head around to take a look and sure enough her poor little eye was all swollen as if someone had hit her (the other eye was swollen too but not as much). We all felt so bad! When she woke up she was crying not because her eye hurt but because she didn't want to leave. She did say that it was starting to itch again but we just had to keep reminded her not to rub it. We gave her some Benadryl (sp?) and by the time she got home she was doing better. It really sucks to have allergies! All Ellie wanted to do was pick some flowers for her daddy.
