Thank Goodness for Benadryl

Yesterday proved to be an enlightening day.
Since little Larry was born, he has always been latex
sensitive.  Meaning, that he was not allergic, but he had a 
high sensitivity to latex because of all
his surgeries and all the contact he could have
to latex.  So, since the day he was born, I always made
sure no one used latex products on him.
And all his charts have latex precaution on them,
even his school records.
Well, yesterday he was playing with a balloon
animal.  Being the boy that he is, he pulled on the arms of this
balloon until it eventually popped.
It whacked him upside the face along his jaw line.
About 10 minutes passed when Xander came to me and
said Larry had hurt his face.  I looked at Larry
and his jaw bone was completely swelled up.
With any of my other children, I would have
suspected tooth ache because they are poor brushers.
But Larry has not had a cavity in his last 4 dental visits.
I could not find a sting mark anywhere so I asked him what happened.
He finally told me about the balloon and I was able to put
2 and 2 together.  He is now latex allergic.
A dose of benadryl and 30 minutes later, Larry's cute little face was
back to normal.  I wish I would have taken a picture
so you could see how swollen his cheek had gotten.
Thank goodness for benadryl.

I'm glad that it wasn't worse, and that he could breathe! Sorry about the allergy though, that is not fun!

Girls Camp

 This year, Savannah got to attend her very first girls camp. Here she is with Morgan, another first timer.  Not sure how Savannah would have done without Sister Skroski. She showed Savannah the ropes and really took care of her in my absence.  Savannah all excited to leave. I can only guess what these last few pictures are. Savannah had a great time and Larry was there as a priesthood chaperone so she was not completely alone. This summer was a summer of firsts for my girl. She had her first girls camp, her first youth Temple trip and her first talk in sacrament. Wow!

Tennessee Adventures with the Hurts

 This summer, Ethan was able to go to Denzil's for 2 weeks. Of course he had a blast, and came back a new boy. He learned to ride a bike, and came home darker if that s at all possible. To drop Ethan off, we met Jason & Sheba , in Knoxville. Sheba's GPS found this neat park in rather a shady area of Knoxville. Emalene is a good model, always willing to pose when I say smile.  Here is my little Ruby in deep concentration.  Ethan did not even look back when he left me.  Gator with the big boys.  Emalene in her favorite color, and Ruby in hers. How cute are they?  A group shot at the drop off.  These monkey bars, kept the kids entertained for a while. Each one tried to make it across. Not sure any succeeded.  Here is Gator trying to reach.  Finally he found a sucker.  Look at him hang by himself.  Denzil looks very unsure about this. We thought we could get a group shot, but the wheel kept spinning and little arms got tired.  The two amigos.  A group shot at t
