Popeye

The bad luck continues at the Wood Household.  This is what we woke up to this morning.

Major eye swelling from a bug bite!  Last night we noticed a little bug bite on his eyebrow and it whipped itself up into this swollen mess overnight.  Casey took him to the doctor before he went in to work.  They prescribed an antibiotic and sent him on his way.  They said since the skin is so sensitive right there by the eye it just got really inflamed.  This is what I picked up from my parent's house at the end of the day.

Totally swollen shut!  It looks like a grape was shoved under his eyelid.  No fever, no unusual behavior and we were assured by both the emergency night nurse and one of my good friends, who is a pediatric nurse, that we shouldn't worry.  So we gave him some Benadryl and are keeping an eye on him.  We know he will be fine but send him your prayers for a fast recovery!
