This is the face of a child

That might have the mumps. He was complaining yesterday that his ear hurt, and then he woke up like this today. After a quick heart attack-I took him to the doctor and she said that despite his vaccination he could still have the mumps! Since it's viral you can't really treat the mumps, but he's taking an antibiotic in case it's an infection of the lymph node. I feel so bad for him b/c it's very painful, so he's been eating popsicles all day (hence his bright red lips!) Thankfully Uncle Trav came over and he and Phil gave him a blessing, so I'm hoping he feels better for our drive to my parents in Alabama in 2 days! The Doc said she didn't feel good about us going in case things got worse, but I can't not go!!! So think good thoughts for my little guy! he's had a rough month, between 10 days of diarrhea and then a week of fevers. Summer has to start being fun soon!!
