Facial Swelling


Some of you know this story, but we had to take Tyler back in to Urgent Care on the Thursday after his stitches. His face started swelling. He had been playing with Alex and when I picked him up Taylor was saying that Tyler looked funny. I just kind of said, "Yeah, Yeah, it's the stitches.". Then an hour later we sat down to eat and I looked at him for the first time and went "AAHH! What's wrong with your face!" Ok, maybe I didn't say that out loud, but that is what I thought. Out of the fear that he was infected or having a bad reaction to the stitched I took him right in.

The 2 doctors didn't really agree on what was wrong. So they sent me home with an antibiotic & benadryl. The important thing is that it went away after a day or so and know he's back to normal - well, normal looking anyways. :) But I learned another lesson or 2 - 1. look at your kids more closely - and more often. and 2. When someone else says they look funny, don't ignore them - because Taylor was right and saw it an hour before I did. Sorry Taylor! You were right!
