Swollen Eye

These first two pictures are yesterday afternoon...this is after much improvement throughout the day!! I thought about but didn't act on the picture taking yesterday AM.

Hello all. I thought I would do a post with some pictures so you could see what's going on with our littlest girl. She is currently being treated for "Periorbital cellulitis". When I looked on WebMD, I only saw a post on Cellulitis. Reading the first paragraph was a little alarming..."This can be deadly." Yikes. Then I was looking at some Facebook posts and was reminded: "Oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bare. All because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer." Thank you, J. So, now we are waiting to get a call from the doctor to see if some level is high in her bloodwork. So, that's where we are now...along with strong antibiotics and watching for higher fever, worsening, less activity, less urine, and less appetite.

These next three pictures are this morning. She hasn't improved a whole lot since these early morning pictures. She is still smiley. Not as perky as usual, but if we couldn't open one eye the whole way, and it was tearing, wouldn't we act the same way??




Please keep her in your prayers. I will update as soon as we know more...and maybe it is nothing to worry about...well, it is!! Because God has it all under control!
