Another late night adventure.

On Easter Sunday mum, the kids and I all ventured to the Rio Tinto Naturescape park in Kings Park.
We packed a small picnic and had a blast, the kids running through the bush and playing in the water.

That night I noticed Mr3 had a couple tiny pimple sized bites on his back. Not thinking anything of it I sent him to bed.
Looking at Miss5 she had a MASSIVE bite on her back. It was literally the size of an egg, she looked like she had grown a third stumpy arm. It wasn't bothering her so off to bed she went too.

The next day Miss5's bite had shrunk and still wasn't bothering her so that was good.
But Mr3's bites were growing and I had now counted 7 bites all over his back. He was also trying to scratch, or more like rip his back off!
Thankfully he couldn't reach his back so mostly it just looked like he was doing a funny shoulder wiggle.

By Monday night however his bites were even bigger, there were 9 that I could count and there was one that looked like it was turning into a bruise and a couple others had green heads on them. They actually looked pretty gross.

So at 6:35pm we decided it was time to go to a dr.
We drove to the local after hours gp-closed!
I called a couple others-closed!

The only other dr was at the hospital. So off we went.
Surprisingly it didn't take us long to get through-but by now I was missing out on My Kitchen Rules :-(

The dr looked at his bites, took photos and took his obs.

Basically we don't do things the normal way, not only were his bites gross but his heart rate was low and his temperature was also quite low. So we waited while the dr checked his notes.

The low heart rate turned out to be fine-must be something to do with him having heart surgery. His temperature was of no concern cos he seemed fine. But the bites were still a bit too gross.

Turns out that Mr3 was having a pretty bad reaction to whatever bit him and infection was already setting in! Eww no wonder they looked green!

A bottle of antibiotics and we were sent on our way home.

Bites are still super itchy, and slightly gross looking but slowly they are getting better.


By the time we got home I had completely missed My Kitchen Rules and because I went straight to bed I forgot all about watching Revenge :-( oh the things you sacrifice when your a mother. . .

Why do all our adventures end in a trip to the dr???
