Spider Man, Spider Man...

does whatever a spider can...

Last Sunday, Grant got bit by a spider...
a nasty Brown Recluse spider.
This is it a few minutes after it happened...



Doesn't look so bad right?
By the next morning it was nasty, huge, red and swollen. It looked seriously nasty! So, off the the doctor we went.
Dr. "Its definitely a spider bite"
Grant "Well, how become I don't have my powers yet"
This was the beginning of our new obsession. He has climbed walls, tyred to spray web and talked about nothing else. He even wants to change his party to a Spider Man theme.

Those were the good times of the week. We had to make 4 trips to the doctor to have it drained, or as Dr. L says "to get the spider goo out" Not fun, this required
1 doctor with needles, tweezers, and lots of squeezing and draining.
2 nurses, 1 to hold the feet and 1 to hold the head.
1 mommy to hold this hands.

There was LOTS of crying and screaming going on. He cried so hard he had an asthma attack and has purple freckles all over his face. Our sweet Dr. L was so sweet. She called to check on him and was SERIOUSLY worried about him...this is why we love her so!
