Today Rob had his first sting by an unfriendly scorpion.
The recent rains have "invited" the scorpions inside, and one made its way to Rob's computer bag. When he placed the strap on his shoulder, the scorpion was waiting and stung him a few times on the arm. Luckily Lilly and I weren't hurt, but we were able to witness the event... and the eventual sacrifice of the scorpion in the laundry room sink! We visited the ER a few hours later because he was exhibiting some weird symptoms: involuntary arm twitching, sore throat, difficulty with vision, etc. The doctor said he would be fine. For children who exhibit really bad symptoms, there is an antivenom (good to know for Lilly and future baby #2). All is well now... Scorpions- STAY AWAY!
