We went up to Upper Arcadia to have a little family picnic.
It was a nice summer Saturday and we wanted to get out of the heat.
The kids had fun building forts, going for hikes and throwing the football around.
I guess at some point Hunter tripped when climbing down the mountain side and rolled in a bush. He happened to have a tank top on.
He came up crying that he had fallen but never once said that he was itchy.
A day or two later, out of no where, he started to get this strange rash or blisters.
Within two days they were worse and I took him to the doctors. Dr. Smith had quite the fun because once he looked at it he knew right away that it was POSION IVY!! He had never heard of it being at Upper Arcadia, but this was proof that it was there. He showed several other doctors……..guess doctors like seeing this kind of thing?
It sure grew over several days, even with being on medication for it. It itched immensely and really caused Hunter pain.
One good thing was that it was only in the locations where the actual poison ivy plant rubbed against his skin.
It was so sad to watch Hunter itch and be in pain. But it's such a typical Hunter thing to come in contact with something crazy!
