Another long one, sorry.
Thursday August 16th
Just when I thought my vacation could not get any more trying, Guess What? It did.
We woke up early due to my mom being back from her visit with friends. DW wanted to relax by the pool and try to unwind after the night before. I can't blame her!
We had plans to go to Epcot and enjoy the EMH later in the day. We had also been able to secure reservations for dinner at Nine Dragons in WS, at the last minute. My mom wanted to go to Ak. We went and left the girls at the pool, promising to return by two.
I had a blast. Once we got there, we walked around looking at the habitats. We got FPs for the Safari, then got and train and went to Conservation Station. We spent a good bit of time there. I learned alot of things I did not know about the park thanks to my mom asking alot of questions. We left there and got to the Safaris right as the time was up on the FP. After the Safari we did the Exploration Trail and Jungle Trek. Once again I tried unsuccessfully to get one of my family members on EE. We really wanted to get to Epcot so we left and headed back to BWV.
Once we got back we grabbed a bite to eat from the Bakery. My DDs wanted me to go on the Water Slide with them. I got changed and my mom went back to room. I played in the pool for a little bit. I came to learn they had already met the Guard:secret:. He had told me it was his third day at the BW pool. DD7 would not go on the slide so I went up with DD4.
I came down the slide and DD7 came over yelling that mommy got stung by a bee and does not feel well. Distracted by this, I did not notice that DD4 was coming down the slide and shot right into me. Just a little history about bee stings and DW. She is allergic to Bees, but has not had an Allergic reaction in over 10 years. she is Allergic to fire ant bites, but has not had an Allergic reaction in 8 years. Because of this She did not have and epi-pen on her person. DW told me she was having shortness of breath and chest tightness. She was getting over an upper respiratory infection so this was bad already. As this was happening, the guard had alerted another Guard and came over to see what was happening. After finding out about no epi-pen and the staff not having one, he notified his supervisor. The coordinator came over to see DW. I had a quick conversation with my wife after finding out the coordinator did not carry an epi-pen. We decided she needed an Ambulance. Reedy Creek was called. I felt so bad for the Guard, he had never had an emergency before and was visibly shaken. I kept telling him to breath deeply, to slow down. The coordinator was with my wife and another guard was with the girls, who were sitting on the pool steps. All of the sudden, security showed up and Managers from all over the Hotel were there. Trevor was the duty manager and he was very nice and helpful. RCFD arrived and DW decided to go to ER. She walked to the Ambulance, because she did not want to upset the girls. She was placed in the Ambulance, so all I had to do was figure where the Hospital was, how to get there, and who was gonna watch the girls. Trevor had someone get in touch with my mom and got someone to give me a ride to the Hospital. My mom arrived shortly after and took over care of the girls. I changed my clothes and went to the Hospital. I can't remember who drove me, Jase? Everyone was very helpful and nice during the whole situation.
I got to Celebration Hospital and found they had started an IV on DW and she was being processsed by a Nurse. The staff was nice, my only complaint was it took 2 hours for the doctor to see DW. We were there long enough that we got to experience shift change and she got a new nurse. They observed her for about four hours and then released her. Before they released her, they gave her some steroids and a prescription for steroids and an epi-pen. We went back to the hotel via a Taxi, which was paid for by BW. Thank you to the staff at BW
Got back to the room to find DD4 sleeping and my mom ready to go to bed. It was between nine and ten and DW wanted was to eat. Myself, DW and DD7 went to eat. Before we went out we stopped to talk to Trevor. Trevor unfortunately had to leave on a family emergency so we spoke to AJ, who was a Customer Relations Manager. We spoke about what happened and had said we were interested in extending our stay to compensate for missing this day. He told us he was on our side and would have to wait to make a decision until he spoke to Trevor.
Just our luck, all the restaurants on the Boardwalk were closed. We went to Planet Hollywood at DD. Food was decent. We were sitting against the bar, which was above us. I was sitting against the bar. I got up to leave and all of the sudden I saw something fly through the air. Apparently the bartender had lost control of a can of apple juice, it struck DW above the ankle. The scary part was, if I was sitting down, I would have been hit in the head. she got a nice bruise from that.
We went back to the hotel and went tobed, hoping to shake off this black cloud.
Day 6 coming soon
