CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – A 4-year-old Tennessee boy is continuing to recover at home after he was bitten by a copperhead snake during a camping trip with his family in Highlands, North Carolina, just across the Georgia border, over Memorial Day weekend. The toddler was rushed to a nearby emergency room where he received 10 vials of antivenom treatment and then was flown to Children’s Hospital, according to multiple online news reports.
The child was in the hospital for three days and was able to return home, where his mother said he is stable and asking for paw patrol and his best friend Oliver.
