Mason is Miserable!

We've had to keep Mason inside for weeks now with the extreme high levels of pollen. He has allergies anyway, but this Spring has put him over the edge! A few weeks ago, he was fighting a skin rash & eczema. He got over that and then started sneezing and coughing and rubbing his eyes constantly. His eyes almost swelled shut yesterday! He still looked terrible last night & this morning, so I took him to the Dr. & turns out his allergies have developed into bacterial infections. He has an eye infection, sinus infection, and a mild case of bronchitis! I have felt so bad for him. I could barely look at his little swollen eyes without tearing up (pregnancy hormones or not!)

The good news is that as of tonight, his eyes look 90% better! They could still swell again and is contagious, so he's unfortunately out of preschool this week. I'm just glad we have medicine & he's already feeling a little better!

I had to take a picture to document this, although I felt kind of bad doing it. These pictures do NO justice as to how swollen his poor eyes were~these were taken when he was looking a lot better!

Oh wow! He doesn't look like he feels good at all! How awful.

He doesn't even look like himself! Grandpa felt SO bad for him when he was watching him. It was just sad:(
