Here we are today, its looking sooooo much better. He finally is getting his crease back in the lid now, it was so puffy that there wasn't even a crease in it at breakfast this morning. Amazing to me that the bite was just above the brow, look for the red dot, but it made the whole lid swell. They are such a menace, wonder why God even created them. We have our first case of West Nile Virus announced this last week here in our county too.
We had a family dinner on friday night up at Darrell and Bonnie's, while Brayden and Lex were out exploring, he got bit on the eyebrow by a mosquito. I noticed his brow being red and a bit swollen when we came home about 9 p.m. During his snack I put an asprin poltice on it, he kept wanting to mess with it, so when it all fell off, I let it go. This is the face we woke up to Sat morning, only a bit worse actually. He stood up in his crib and pointed to his eye and said "eye owie" He actually couldn't even open his eye to start with, so this is mid afternoon, he was really having it rough going on two doses of benedryl, so was really fussy. I called Grandpa so they could chat and took this pic to email and ask for any advice. In the long run, we had to let it go. I did put another asprin poltice on it right after he went to sleep for his nap, I froze it first with an ice pack and then the poltice. Poor kid, him and mosquitos just don't get along!!

YUCK!! Poor kiddo! That bite looked vicious!!
I did crack up, though, at the videos of him with the fish! It looked like that little fish was going to be his pet whether the fish liked it or not! *laugh*
