WTF???

Last Friday Dylan fell asleep on the couch for a couple of hours and when he woke up, his left ear was red. I just assumed he slept on that side of his body and that was why his ear was red. Well after a couple of hours Zach noticed that his ear was still red and now was very swollen. See...


So by 10:00 that night his ear was not getting better (it actually looked like it was getting bigger!) I called the on call doctor and they said it sounds like he has an infection and if it wakes him up in the middle of the night or if he seems to be in a lot of pain to take him to the ER otherwise, call the doctor's office in the morning and get him seen. So that's what I did. We were at the doctor's by 8:45 and it turns out that he was bit by some sort of bug (doctor wasn't sure what kind of bug) and she said that she say a kid the previous week with the exact same thing. She is actually one of my favorite doctor's at the office and she said that she was going to give him a prescription for an antibiotic and she also told me to take lots of pictures since his ear was giant. That made me laugh and I told her that of course I have already done that! We called him elephant ear for the day and by the next morning his ear looked 10 times better. There is always some sort of drama going on in our house!! Keeps things interesting don't ya think??!!
