My son, who hardly ever gets sick, has been to the doctor twice in the last two weeks, and his regular check-up is scheduled for next week. Edward is getting very familiar with the new pediatrician's office. Last week he went in because he fell and cut his toe somehow while running around the house. He whined and complained, but we didn't think much of it. The next day he was still crying and whining about it so we started to get concerned. The doctor said the cut was a little infected and she was worried that he might have a fracture in one of the bones in the top of his foot. So he had to go get x-rays. Thankfully nothing was broken--just getting the x-rays was enough of an adventure!

This week's visit was for the sty you see on his eye in the picture. It showed up last Friday, so we read all we could find on stys and learned that they usually go away on their own in about a week. Kenton's was getting bigger and not showing any signs of going away, so off to the doctor he went yesterday morning. He got a very expensive antiobiotic and the sty seems to be a little smaller today. Hopefully after next week's checkup we can stay away from the doctor for a while!
