Emily's got hives

Hi all,
I figured out how to set up for the blog but I already sent out some e-mails about Emily #27. She and Elizabeth called from Bunratty Castle. Apparently Emily has a bad case of hives which started on the plane and has flared up again in the castle. She has a few Benadryl but they will get her more. She's fine but itchy. I wasn't suprised by how the leaders are "on top of the situation." They are very thorough and will call if anything comes up to immediately let you know what is going on. I feel very comfortable with how they are handling this although I am nervous to have her sick so far away. She had a reaction to the mold in damp soil when she was helping her dad dig to build a deck a few summers ago. Now, with the air on the plane and in a musty old castle, she must be experiencing the same thing. She wasn't crying or upset when they called so we'll see what happens. Hopefully this won't interfere with her continuing with the trip. I'll keep you all posted.
