So most of you know that Ridge was stung by a scorpion on Thursday. Well he did recover pretty good. However, he's been suffering from nasty hives in reaction to the scorpion sting (I think). The weird thing about them is that they will disappear during the day (for the most part) and re-appear in the evening. Last night they were so bad that he had them on his eye-lids, lips, in his arm-pits, everywhere. Poor kid was itching like crazy. I have never seen anything like it.

poor ridge! have you called your doctor? (it's free!) it might be some sort of allergic reaction. at least google it and see if there's anything you can do. does it itch him?
I'm with Bon on that one. Here's the iTriage page on hives and allergic reactions: http://www.itriagehealth.com/disease/allergic-reaction
Hope that helps.
Thanks guys. Yes we did call that to our Dr. that night and he told us just to watch him and make sure he continued breathing ok. We did give him a double dose of benedryl and covered him in anti-itch cream because YES it was extremely itchy for him. He's doing so much better though.
