Sigh.
So the crap in Matthew’s ear apparently migrated (shifty bastard) and made his eye swell up. Dr. Lewis was concerned the swelling could be the start of periorbital cellulitis, so Josh took Matthew (AGAIN) back to the doctor’s and she gave him another set of high dose antibiotics and his eye already looks much better. We should be all set to go for our trip back east to Connecticut.
Throughout this entire debacle, Matthew has been a trooper. I am so tickled by the cute boy he’s becoming and his personality, as infectious as the germs he gives off. We spent awhile tonight just sticking our tongues out at each other and giggling. Then as I was getting him ready for bed, he spent half the time rolling away from me and waiting with excited anticipation at being caught, because, as any mama does when catching her baby, I would then eat his belly and chew on his back, which resulted in peals of laughter from him.
Good times, good times.

I’m glad he’s still playful and happy, despite all these ickies that won’t leave him be!
