Sickie

Benson Dean got pretty sick about two weeks ago. It started with a fever and a really, REALLY swollen lymph node in his neck. So big that I took him into the doctor just to check the lump on his neck. Then he wouldn't eat anything, then his eyes got puffy. It was weird. After many trips to the doctor, lots of prayer, and one almost trip to the hospital, it was declared he had strep throat. Thank goodness! It was a crazy two weeks and we were absolutely exhausted, but mainly we were worried for our little guy. This is what he looked like those two weeks, just slept on our chest and cried about how much he hurt. So sad (I added a picture of what he looks like normally so you can compare)

Poor boy, It breaks my heart seeing these little ones get sick!! The lump on the neck makes me wonder if Deanna had strep in addition to her double ear infection. They didn't do a strep-test, but confirmed her tonsils were swollen! Her lymph nodes behind her ear on the left side was pretty big too, but with the medicine it has gone down tons already.
