Benji had a cold... or allergies...





Benji had a very runny nose last weekend, and then developed a low-grade fever during the week. He has been spending a lot of time feeling sorry for himself, getting his nose wiped ("tissue time!"), acting fussy, and watching superhero videos. Aaron has been spending a lot of time feeling sorry for himself, wiping Benji's nose, dealing with a fussy boy, and watching superhero videos. I took Benji to the doctor on Tuesday evening, and he was diagnosed with a cold or allergies, either of which was causing one of his ears to look slightly infected. We came home with a bottle of amoxycillin, and at a follow-up with his regular pediatrician on Thursday, his ears were pronounced clear and healthy. He's still pretty congested and coughing, but definitely on the mend. These photos are from our first trip to the doctor -- you may be able to see how red and puffy his poor eyes were at that point. --Victoria
