Kevin's Eye
So last Friday Kevin woke up from nap time with his eye swollen, just about half shut, we put some compresses on it, and watched it but it didn't get any worse so, we sent him to bed... he woke up Saturday morning screaming, he couldn't open his right eye! SO we went into emergency mode, after showing him to our freind Jeromy, a PA off the the ER Tyler and Kevin went. They came back with benadryl and orders for cold compresses. We went through everything trying to figure out what he was allergic too, looked for bugs in his bed, washed everything we possibly could, blankets, pillows, toys, you name it we washed it. Come Saturday night his eye looked the same, so we called the ER and they called in a antibiodic, hoping that would help. Come Monday morning, he could open it but it was larger and moving down his face... so I took him in this doctor and she said that the risk was to high and that he needed to be put onto IV antibiodics and would be staying overnight. CRAP! Tyler was supposed to go to Boise that night for a conference! Me and two kids in the hospital overnight! Yikes! Thank goodness Tyler called and got out of the conference because it was a long two days with him here! Tyler stayed night with him, (that man can sleep through anything, whereas I wouldn't have slept a wink the whole night, and been no good the next day!) while I was there during the day. He got a Ct with contrast (remember the test that i told you makes you fell like you pee your pants... yeah, that one) although they had to put him out for it, he sure is a light weight when it come to anesthesia... he is funny! the test came back that it was anterior cellulitis, and the blood cultures still we clean at the 24 hour mark. So we have no idea why it did it, but it could have been a sinus infection that pushed out his eye? anyways, he is on some extra strength antibiotics at home to make sure we got rid of it all, but he is at home and happy and playing like normal, so I can't complain. Uncle Ken came up and help us Tuesday to Wednesday morning... he was great! the nurses told me he must be the best uncle ever! (its true to!) So that is what is going on here! I will have to upload the pictures of his poor face later!
