Sick Blake

Poor little Blake has had a bad streak for the last week or so. Last weekend he bumped his eyebrow on the refrigerator. Yep, his eyebrow. It was a big swollen knot. The same day, he and Kyle were playing light sabers and Kyle bonked the exact same spot on his eyebrow! The next morning, that little spot above his eye turned into a black eye. This whole last week we have watched it change from dark blue, to purple, to pink, then to green and yellow.

Then he caught whatever Kyle had and got it much worse. He ended up at the doctor who was said he had "pre-pneumonia." We were sent home with cough medicine, antibiotics and breathing treatments. The breathing treatment, although effective, is terrifying for the poor little guy because it covers his mouth and nose. Brian had a great idea though. He called it the "Darth Vader mask." Suddenly he is willing to use it! Genius!

Then yesterday, Blake was running over to me and whacked his face on the side of the kitchen counter. Oh poor guy! Thank goodness that didn't turn into another black eye. Just a red spot on the side of his cheek.

Hopefully by the time his 3rd birthday rolls around in a couple weeks he will be looking a feeling a lot better.
