Our week

We've had an interesting week. On Monday night Connor got bitten by a mosquito on his right eyelid. Most would think, "Oh no biggie just a small bite." Not with this kid, he's so sensitive to them that the skin just swells up especially on his face. Last summer he got cellulitis from the bit behind his knee and needed antibiotics. By Tuesday morning his eye was red and completely swollen shut. He looked and felt awful so I called the doctor right away and she had him come in; poor guy got lots of sympathy from everyone in the office. She sent him home with an antibiotic, eyedrops, and an oral steroid, that is in addition to the antihistime I'd already given him. He stayed home Wednesday with Michael and they had a ball together. When I get the picture downloaded of his eye I'll post it but be warned it's scary!

Yesterday was his first trip to the dentist and I was a bit apprehensive, but he was so good. They had TVs over all the chairs so they turned on cartoons for him. He let them clean his teeth, squirt water in his mouth, use the little sucker to get the water out and even check all his teeth with the mirror and little sharp pick thing. All the while looking so stylish in the cool sunglasses they put on him because of the bright overhead light. He didn't even act like it bothered him a bit. The dentist and hygenist both commented that he was better than any kid they'd ever seen including 4 and 5 year olds. They sent him off with some toys, a new Pooh toothbrush, and some sugar free suckers. We'll be back in 6 months and I hope he's as good then!
