Fans Offer Support

After Sweet Home Sextuplets mom, Courtney Waldrop posted about her moment of panic after Layke was stung, fans offered support.

  • “My daughter has an epi pen for bee stings. She is just as allergic to jelly fish stings. Just giving you a heads up if he ever gets stung by a yellow jacket, wasp, bee, etc.”
  • “Benadryl is great to always have, but talk with your dr re having an epipen (especially with child’s dosing) because very rarely EMT’s have child Epipens . I happen to have two that require carrying and thankfully never had to use (although did have anaphylactic reaction outside of hospital- best place to have it! No, I wasn’t carrying it- I was dropping off to school and they had them there- so happy school was across street from hospital). Epi pens come with testers to learn (but 911 can always walk you through it too- that’s my plan and yes I retrain every year- I just like to remember 911 will help me).”
  • “Always have some Benadryl with you. ✨💖✨.”
