matt had a work event that was keeping him from getting home for dinner so i moved some errands around and planned to go to a fundraiser at chick-fil-a with the kids. maddux woke up shortly after madelyn got home and was a little out of sorts after sleeping so long. but he was the best listener about getting ready to go. he was the first one ready to get into the car but was complaining about his neck. as i was responding, "of course your neck hurts, you were sleeping with your chin on your chest!" i saw his neck! he had a huge bulge on the left side and a smaller one on the right side!i told the kids not to get in the car and called the pediatrician's office. for once someone got sick before 5pm. but the office closes at 4pm. sigh. why can't i remember that?! so i called matt to see what he wanted me to do. i was really concerned about how large his glands had swollen in so short an amount of time. (and, no, it is not the same side where he had that tooth pulled after his face swelled up last time.)
matt had me send him a few pictures. he called me back after showing them to a doctor at work to let me know there was a precription called in for me to pick up for him. one of the perks!
maddux was really miserable and crying. so there was no way i was going to get to the store - even if we were out of peanut butter. but we did still go pick up cfa for dinner on our way to get the antibiotics.
he has been pretty congested for a while and i have been feeling like he wasn't well so i think it was a sinus infection. he felt SO much better after a dose of medicine and some dinner. he was even running around before bedtime.
so now we know, maddux goes with crazy swelling when anything happens in his head. love.

Oh my goodness! Poor Maddux!
Yikes! Poor kid, indeed! Awesome a doc was able to call in a script for him. Telemedicine, baby!
