We apparently brought a little hitchhiker home with us from our recent Iowa trip. Didn’t discover him until 1:15 a.m. this morning though.
Found a tick on Adrianna’s face as I was checking on her before I went to bed. So creepy! He has since been carefully removed and flushed. He must’ve been stowing away in her thick hair prior to tonight? *shudder* I was so very freaked out but managed to hold it together so I could calm Adrianna down. Thankful for Greg’s help to remove it too. Â
I was totally freaking out in my head but knew I had to keep it together or Adrianna would have lost it. The panic I felt when I first saw it on her face was awful. It would have been worse if I would have had to be the one to actually remove it with the tweezers. Thankfully, I got to be the one to hold Adrianna while Greg removed it.
Reminds me of the time my mom found a huge tick, very engorged with my blood, in my hair at about the same age and also on an Iowa trip. I remember falling very ill on the way home and I still wonder if that tick’s removal had anything to do with it.
