Update

Well, I took Elijah to the ER again today because he woke up with his left eye swollen shut and his face swollen even more. This time I felt a little more informed and at ease. They said he has a VERY bad case of pink eye, so I got drops for that. Then they said he has a viral infection called Parotitis, which is the swelling of the lymph nodes. This is causing the rash and swelling. It is viral and should go away in 3-5 days- tomorrow will be day 4, so we'll see what happens. Tonight his rash actually looked a little lighter. So, thats the update!

    Thanks for the update. Our update is that we once again have colds. We were well for two whole days. I am really bummed.
