What a way to start the weekend!
Andrew woke up Saturday morning looking like this:
We noticed Friday evening that he had what appears to be a mosquito bite under his eye, on his cheek bone. No worries there, he's constantly got bites on his arms and legs. He went to bed that night looking and acting fine. Then at 7am, Charis brought him downstairs with a big bulging eyelid. After examining it the best we could and not finding anything to attribute it to, we decided to take him to a doctor. We considered the possibility of an allergic reaction to the bug bite, but wouldn't that have taken effect sooner?
Well, he was given a booster shot (don't remember the name) of antibiotic and then was prescribed amoxcillin along with Benadryl. Off and on throughout the day he complained of it hurting. You should have seen the stares he received from adults and kids alike when we all went out for Matthew's party (that's another post)!
Yesterday, still looked pretty much the same, but when he woke up this morning, most of the swelling had gone down. There's minimal bruising on the inside corner of his eyelid, but still no evidence of anything definite that caused it. A bite on one of his hands began to swell yesterday, but a second one on the opposite hand did not swell. Baffled? Yes, we are. But the antibiotics and Benadryl seem to be helping and his diapers are lovely!
Here's another picture just to give you a good laugh:
Check back tomorrow for details on Matthew's birthday!
