Two weeks ago Evan woke up in the morning with his left eye swollen shut and his hives were back. A visit to the doctor later and we had a prescription for an antibiotic for a possible sinus infection and a prescription for Zyrtec for the hives.
He was feeling better so we headed off to our tent that weekend for the Fall Festival at Hoffmaster. The kids cozy in the tent. Doesn't Spencer look thrilled!
Hailey took a selfie on the way to her pink game.
Some of the kids later that day all dressed up to trick or treat around the park.
And some goofy grownups.
Sitting by the campfire.
When we got home Sunday morning, Hailey couldn't wait to dump her candy and sort.
Picking up Spencer after play rehearsal. He came out with three slices of pizza that he wanted for his lunch the next day.
Friday was the Walk a Thon at the school. I was glad I got to walk with my favorite girl.
Evan had a Boy Scout campout over the weekend and Hailey spent the night at Grama's house on Saturday. Trent, Spence and I went to Grand Haven to eat dinner and see a play.
I know Spencer's eyes are shut in this photo, but the pier looks so strange without the cat walk.
Spence poses for a picture while Trent geocaches in the back ground. Bigfoot!
And after eleven days of feeling great, Evan woke up yesterday morning with the hives again. Ugh. Again, the doctor's office is not concerned - saying it is very common for hives to come and go for a long time.
Hailey's spooky mansion book report all ready to turn in a week early!
We had a court of honor banquet for the scouts last night. My two boys left with many new badges and honors.
Evan went to bed with hives last night and unfortunately they didn't go away during the night.
I am sad and unbelievably frustrated that this keeps happening to him. He is such a trooper. I don't think I have heard him complain once since this whole hives thing started. In fact after we left the doctor a week or so ago he said to me that he felt like the "fussed over child" because we were always giving him medicine or oils or whatever. I just want him to feel better and be done with this. If I could take it on for him I would in a second. He doesn't deserve to have to deal with it. It amazes me how he continues to do everything he has to do without a complaint. He probably would have even gone to school with his eye swollen shut if I let him. I gave him Benadryl this morning because he was a little itchy, but I think I need to just try to get all medicine out of his system and see what happens next. It is so frustrating. I have a constant pit in my stomach worrying about him and feel like I am always on the verge of some kind of breakdown. It just sucks to have to worry about your kid. I can't even imagine what parents of really sick kids go through. So for now we just keep waiting and praying.
