A Thirty Thousand Dollar Scorpion Sting!

This is Abigail sleeping peacefully in her new room.

This is Abigail the next day after being stung by a scorpion.

Abigail ended up being in ICU for 2 days, while the poison worked through her body.

I stayed with Abigail but her most favorite visitors were Grandma and Daddy.  Grandma even stayed the second night here with me to take shifts with Abigail.  
Abigail is 100% better and her brothers promise to keep her safe from scorpions.  
That experience is something I hope we never repeat.  
We are so happy to have her back.

Such a scary few days! Not to mention expensive, AAAHHHH!
I am so glad that she is doing better now. I hated seeing her so sick! She is such sweetie, even if she is so shy!

When Laurel gaves us all the details I kept thinking how terrifying that must have been! I was relieved to hear that she was doing better!
