It was just a couple of weeks ago that Matthew woke up with a red bump on his right eyebrow. We noticed it on a Tuesday. On Wednesday it was slightly swollen and by Thursday his eye was partly swollen shut. We saw Jackson on Thursday. He told us to apply a warm compress as often as Matthew would let us. Well you can guess that, that did not happen. He would hardly be still long enough for us to look at it for fear that we would touch it. On Friday when his eye was completely swollen shut we took him to see Jackson again. We unfortunately had to hold Matthew down on a table while Jackson cut open the abscess. It was very difficult to see our child in pain especially since we were forcing it upon him. After a week of some very strong antibiotics, we are completely healed.
This was taken and sent to Jackson to see if he wanted to see us. Looks pretty bad!
After all was said and done Matthew could not be consoled. We offered all kinds of treats but he just wanted to go home. He fell asleep minutes after we got in the car to go home and slept for the rest of the afternoon.
It wasn't long before he was back to himself. It sure was nice to see those big blue eyes again!
