The Itsy Bitsy Spider....

If you viewed my last post, you know we all got together Easter Sunday at Sisters house for a cookout. All that afternoon Allen wanted to go fishing, and Chad my oldest decided to go with him...

Allen got a bite on his leg, while fishing...

He came home Tuesday night with a fever and the bite seemed to look red, so Melissa took him to the doctor Wednesday morning where it was determined that he had been bitten by a spider...

A Brown Recluse Spider..

He was given a shot (which he didn't hesitate to say hurt...alot) of antibodics, and then given more medicne to take.

By Wednesday afternoon the redness had spread from the bottom of his knee (the bite is on his shin) to the top of his foot...

When he came home from school today his leg was swollen and the swelling and redness has went to his ankel...it looks very nasty!

He has a n appointment tomarrow morning to go back and let the Doctor have a look see...so I'll give you an update on what they say tomarrow night, please remember him in your prayers. Blessings!
