Hi Julie Ann,

She is feeling much better today but we have persuaded her to have tomorrow off as well...and then see how she feels. We've all checked out the epi-pen and are all o.k. about how to use it. Richard is a paramedic anyway so he showed us.

Not sure what is happening with her friends thumb yet. Will know more tomorrow.

Have been at the hospital again today. OH fell in the bath (he WAS sober) lol and has damaged his middle finger quite badly. Has got a splint on it and has appointment at the fracture clinic on Thursday morning. It never rains but it pours

I have been a right little Florence Nightingale this week.

Thanks for asking.

how are things today, hope shes better soon

Pleased that your DiL came home OK, but a shock for the poor girl to be rushed back in. I guess she will have to be ultra careful after having a bad reaction like that and the 'pen' is a good idea. I hope she is now recovering from the ordeal. And also her poor friend, I hope that they can save her thumb.

Thanks so much for all your good wishes.

Alison came home about 4pm yesterday.
Son went to work and about 10pm she phoned us in a state as she was covered in the most terrible rash and was swelling up and felt quite ill.

We rushed down there, luckily only live about 10 minutes away, and took her to the local Aand E.

Turns out be be nothing to do with the previous accident but a 'simple' case of uticaria (hives), Well if that was simple I wouldn't have liked to have had it. She was all swollen and her eyes were like slits. The doctor said that as her body was super-sensitive at the moment it could be anything, a hot bath, body lotion etc.

She had more piriton and we are going over there in a minute to see her.

She was so frightened. I think she needs a couple of days off to calm her whole body amd mind down.

Thanks for caring

Linda

May I add my good wishes for both your d-i-l and her friend,, and hugs for you - worrying on the 'sidelines'.
God bless,

What an awful thing to happen but she has been very lucky it would seem. Glad she will be ok and I hope they can save her friend's thumb.

Sue, I was going to add the same information re the big toe.
I hope things don't come to that and the thumb can be saved, altho it will be a painful time for the poor woman.
Hope things are better for both of them now.

I am so pleased that she will recover.

I really hope that the friend's thumb can be saved.

I know it sounds a bit gruesome but sometimes if a thumb is lost surgeons will remove a big toe and transplant that instead. That then gives back the use of the hand and a toe isn't really missed. I hope it doesn't come to that though.

How awful, I am glad your daughter in law will be ok and hope her friend's thumb can be saved. What will happen to her dogs?

It must be such an awful time for every one, will you still go there tomorrow to see your d.i.l. ?
If so, have a safe journey, and hope you have been able to sleep.

So glad that your daughter is going to be ok, saying prayers for her friend hoping that her thumb can be saved.

Im sure she will be fine Linda....my son has bad reactions to stings and has to carry an epi-pen! Luckily he has not had to use it for about a year but it is amazing how quickly they work.....it is very reassuring to know he has it!!

Bev

Pleased to hear some good news ............

try to sleep XXX

My son has just phoned.

She is still in ICU but will recover. Thank God

Apparently the hornet stung her on the back of her neck and that's why she collapsed so quickly. He said she got stung by a wasp a couple of weeks back and felt a bit funny and her arm swelled up really badly. He said to her at the time 'That doesn't seem right to me' but she's one of those no-nonsence girls and insisted that it was o.k.

Richard said that are going to give her one of those 'pens' that you can administer yourself if it ever happens again.

Her friend is actually worse off than her now, they are not sure if they can save her thumb.

Richard is staying the night and seeing what happens tomorrow.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts
