This is on Thursday night
This is in the morning
This is after we went to the doctor.
On Thursday night Parker got a fat lip on half of his bottom lip. I thought that maybe he accidentally big it or maybe a bug bite. So we gave him some tylenol and he went to sleep. Well at about 3:00 in the morning he woke up and his entire bottome lip was swollen. I was gettting kind of worried because it was looking worse and not better. So I gave him som Benadryl hoping that would help the inflamation. It was really hard for him to leave it alone because it felt funny to him and was really bothering him. How do you explain to a 2 year old that his lip is swollen and that it will get better and not to bug it. He finally went back to sleep and then when I woke up about 7:00 and looked at him I was really scared it had gotten worse and was spread to both his lips. And his right cheek was swollen as well. We decided we had better take him to the Doctor. We went to put his shoes on and his right foot was swollen as well. That got us even more concerned so we hurried to Immediate Care. We got there as soon as they opened and the doctor saw him and was pretty sure it was an allergic reation to some walnuts in the brownies I had made the night before. But the swollen foot was throwing him off so he got another doctors opinion and then they got one more doctors opinion. Finally they gave him a prescription for a steroid that would help the swelling and then they said that we should bring him back that evening to make sure it was indeed and allergy and not something more serious. So we gave him the medicine and within a few hours it started looking better and by the end of the day you could hardly tell. Today he is back to normal and doing fine. (The swollen foot and lips didn't really slow him down, but I felt so bad for the little guy) We took pictures along the way to show how it grew. So now more walnuts for Parker!!!
