Swollen
Notice that protruding lump on the right side of Ben's face? That's his swollen gland. He's had a fever off and on since Friday then Monday afternoon I noticed his neck had swollen all up. So of course I get worried and decide to take him to the dr. They think it's just an ear infection and he's on antibiotics. If it's not better and the swelling hasn't gotten better by the end of this week I have to bring him back in. So far it's the exact same size today than it was on Monday so it's not looking hopeful. And Ben is complaining that it hurts, when it hasn't bothered him much until today. Sigh. At least he doesn't have a fever anymore and he slept through the night last night. (He's been waking up 2-4 times a night since Saturday.) I just hope he gets better soon!
Side note: When I published this post, there was a Google Ad on the published page that said "Lymph Node Cancer, there is hope!" THANKS, Google!
He looks so pitiful. Glad he's sleeping though!
Poor baby! However, only you could make a sick child look like a goregous photo! Hope everything is ok!
Poor thing! I hope he gets better quickly. [Ethan has had that same problem many times over the year - the size of the lump just goes up and down with ear infections, sinus infections, etc.]
Ouch! I have a swollen gland on my left side right now, and it hurts, so I totally feel his pain! I get to go to the doctor tomorrow. I hope he feels better soon!
Owie. That has got to be miserable for both Ben and you. I hope the antibiotics are kicking in.
PS. I am glad that Google was there for you in your time of need, j/k.
Poor baby! He looks cute, even when he's sick. But I hope he gets better soon!
Aww, so sad. Is he all better? Such a sweet pic though.
