Jontu and the bees

This week we learned that Jontu is NOT allergic to bees.  Unfortunately for Jontu he ended up with 12 bites in the process.  We were doing some community service at one of the local parks and Jontu disturbed some bees.  He got it the worst on his hands, his thumbs and forefingers were swollen.  The amazing thing is that he only cried for a few minutes. Once again he has showed us how tough he really is.  He always seems to run with the punches and this time was no different.  We made a quick run to the closest grocery store for some benedryl and some tylenol to help with the pain.  We gave him these and then came home and watched Episode 6 at his request.  We did place a call to the pediatrician just because there were so many stings.  Thankfully he did not develop any of the allergic reaction symptoms and he is fine now. We feel blessed.

WOW ! What an eventful service project. I am glad Jontu is a jedi in training. He must have the force with him to have been able to brave that!
