Puff, the swollen-eyed baby

Here's what we woke up to this morning:

His eyelids were so swollen he could hardly open his eyes.

But he's still a cheery ickle chap.

At the doctor

This is what we had it narrowed down to from the night before:

• ice cream given to him on the part of his father which resulted in splotchy skin
• a possibly toxic cocktail of Claritin (for the splotchy skin) and Ibuprofen (for his teeth)
• lotion - Eucerin - put on his face which pissed him off. In protest, he wielded fists of fury against his face.

The doctor was none too helpful and chalked it up to him rubbing his eyes with the lotion and his cold. We were sent home to give him more Claritin to help with the swelling.

I guess God's helping me get over my weird phobia of calling the doctor. I have this poorly placed fear that Doc will think I'm a hypochodriac, or whatever you call it when you think your kid has every disease in the book.

Either way, the swelling has gone down quite a bit and I'm hopeful it'll be better if not by tomorrow then by Thursday.
