Henson's eye...

We have NEVER seen or experienced 

anything like this before!

A few weeks ago I picked the boys up from my sister-in-law's 

house. They stayed with her while I was in Palm Springs.

Trin (Gord's sister) said that Henson had been stung by a bee (or so she thought)

a couple days earlier. He was outside and grabbed his eye and yelled "owie!" He never cried though, but she said it looked like he had been stung.

He didn't have an allergic reaction or anything and there was a tiny scab left over, but was healing fine.

That was on Tuesday...

Wednesday afternoon his eye started to get kind of blood shot and red

and then we woke up to this Thursday morning

Day 1

 The Dr thought he had developed Staph infection

from the bee sting and gave us some eye drops

and put him on Augmenten 

(He also had a fever of 103.7)

Day 2 

Day 3

(okay... maybe it is suppose to get worse before it gets better)

 Day 4

(Starting to get worried at this point)

 That night we stayed with my grandma at Little America

downtown SLC. 

Poor Henson didn't get to go to the pool with us...

He stayed up in the room with "Great" and took a bath while we played.

 Dad gave Tydon a few lessons...

Day 5

Monday morning we woke up and it was even worse...

So we headed over to Primary Children's ER.

He was admitted...

They did a culture...

an eye specialist was called...

he dilated his eyes...

we waited...

and waited...

finally fell asleep...

after the exam we were told it was herpes instead of staph infection.

Basically a HUGE cold sore on the poor boy's eye.

Luckily nothing was on the eyeball itself so we were relieved.

We were sent home with 3 different prescriptions (oral, topical and inside the eye)

Day 6

(Really spreading now- mouth, other eye, chin...)

 Each day it started to heal...

And finally... 2 weeks later...

HEALING!!

This was definitely scary! I'm so grateful we got the right medication

and his eye is healing.

The eye specialist double checked this week and his eye looks clear so there shouldn't be any major damage. Just hoping there isn't any scarring either.

Grateful for modern medicine and the right medication.

Little Stinker...

We were making something yummy the other day and we ran out of 

Corn Syrup...

Henson found the bottle in the garbage and decided to see if he could get anymore out...

He knows he's notty...

But so stinkin cute!

 Yummy! 

After I got the pictures, he was reminded not to play in the garbage ;)

October to November...

I'll be the first to admit that I've been horrible at updating lately...

I still can't believe November is more than half way over.

Thanksgiving is next week... really?!

So here is a quick recap of our Oct and the beginning of Nov

Little "H" turned 1 yr -

We love this little guy to pieces and are so grateful for his sweet spirit.

 

 

He was battling ear infections all of Oct so he still hasn't had his own Bday cake...
Poor kid!

Tydon LOVED Itty Bitty Football again this year.
He is such a stud!


 
I met up with a friend at a new pizza place in town NYPD Pizza
It was sooo yummy!
Tydon loved making his own pizza :)

We finished the month off with a fun weekend ALL about Tydon!

It started Friday when he woke up to see that Grandpa and Brody had come to visit :)

{They were on their way to Green River for the weekend}

Then later that night we went to a Halloween Party

My aunt and her kids showed up later that night to celebrate the weekend with us.

Saturday morning Tydon chose his favorite breakfast... Pumpkin Pancakes with buttermilk syrup and Powdered Sugar :)

Then we made a quick visit to see G&G Eaton in Riverton.

On to Yogurtland... can't tell you how excited I am that this is in town :)

The weather was decent for Halloween this year

 

 Then we made our way to Gardner Village to find the Witches

Next stop was Wheeler Farm...

I had to laugh because Gordon got more excited to take a picture of this thing than he did his own kids while we were there...

Yes... live pack rats... look for them next time you are there!

Just as we were leaving it started to rain... perfect time to hit up CHUCK E CHEESE

He's been talking about going there for months!

He LOVED it... but said Lagoon was more fun :)

Then we headed home for presents...

Cake and Ice Cream...

And we were so happy the cousins were here to take Tydon

Trick or Treating

Fun way to end the month!!

November has been pretty busy so far...

I just took the boys to ID for a week and it was lots of fun.

The boys always look forward to visiting Great at the mall.

One night I got to meet up with several of my HS friends :)

It was a blast catching up!

I left the boys with my sis-in-law for the weekend and went to Phoenix for the weekend...

forgot my camera {so sad} but the 84 degree weather was fabulous... poolside... Yogurtland... yummy food... catching up with friends and some more travel planning... such a fun weekend!

Gordon was super excited to have us home :) We missed him lots!

This weekend we get to have our cousins over for a couple nights while their mom and dad go to a wedding in Nauvoo. Tydon and Henson are lovin it!

We are looking forward to hitting the road again next week to visit our family in ID!

Guess it's time to start thinking about Christmas.... crazy!!
