twilight33Yet another trip to the doctor today. Within an hour and a half of getting to work, Ryan called and said he noticed Kieran's left eyelid getting a weird red blotch & swelling up. The nurse didn't like the sound of that and got him an appointment 20 minutes from the time Ryan called! Thankfully, the medical center is a block from my office so as Ryan drove over I walked over to see what was going on.
It's early to tell for certain, but he might have something called periorbital cellulitis. The dr. did a culture on it, for which Kieran remained calm and relatively still for. This was much to everyone's surprise considering his eye was being attacked by a large Q-Tip. If the redness or swelling travel past the eyelid we're to call in pronto, even if it's after hours, because it can apparently turn nasty rather fast.
On the plus side, Kieran's cold is almost completely gone and he's eating like a horse. Guess if it's not one thing, it's the other?
