Ant Bites!

On Saturday, February 5, 2011 we were out for a walk in the neighborhood. Leiohu loves pointing to a sign that some neighbors have from UCF (University of Central Florida). The sign has a football helmet on it and a fist holding up the helmet. Leiohu thinks it looks like ice cream (an ice cream cone).

Leiohu decided to go to the sign and point to it; however, she stepped into an ANT NEST! I didn't realize it until she was trying to get something off her foot. I thought it was dirt so I helped her brush it off, then realized there were ants crawling on her foot. Poor girl got 3 ant bites on her toes--one from each of 3 ants--and was in a lot of pain. Those ant bites are terrible!

On Monday, February 7, 2011 we were at the park and I noticed that Leiohu's foot was swollen. I made an appointment for her to see the doctor and found out if was hypersensitivity to the bites. Leiohu took some medicine to help. I'm glad she's not allergic to the ant bites.
