Allergic Reaction

Yesterday when I picked Jacob up from daycare his left ear was slightly red and swollen. So I watched him overnight. I didn't see anything obivious wrong with his ear. This morning when he got up his ear was about 4 times the size as normal and the redness was heading up his head so we headed to the doctor to get checked out. After the doctor's initial shock when she walked in the room and checked him out she was fairly certain there was very tiny bug bite on the top of his ear that she could see with her light and magnifying glass!!

So we left with some steroids and benedryl and hoping the swelling goes down soon!!

This was his right ear this morning (normal)


And this was his swollen left ear. I didn't take the pictures for the purpose of posting on the blog or I would have used my camera. They were intended to send to Matt via my cell phone since he is traveling this week.


Poor little guy!! I drugged him up and sent him back to daycare.
