Puffy eye

DS woke up with a puffy upper eyelid this morning. He had a bug bit on his forehead on the other side, so we thought the eyelid might have been from another bite. DCP called me late in the morning and said DS's eye was almost swollen shut and requested that we take him to the doctor. We went in this afternoon and saw one of the other doctors in the practice since ours was only there this morning. Diagnosis... sinus infection. Apparantly, especially in young children, the sinus infection will drain up via the tear ducts toward the eye and cause swelling in the soft tissue there. We have an antibiotic Rx. It may look worse in the morning, but might start to look better that soon. It definitely should look better by Friday. I guess our family pictures (before baby #2) will have to wait a few extra days.
