Jase update:
We went to instacare yesterday morning because Jase woke up and couldn't even open his left eye. The Dr. said that it looks to be an infection of the skin around his eye. He said that since Jase has been sick, he is concerned and we need to be very aggressive with it or it could spread behind his eye. He gave him shots of Benedryl and a prescription for an antihistamine and also said to give him liquid Benedryl. He said that we needed to go back again Friday and if he doesn't think there is enough of an improvement, he will send us up to Primary's so that they can do a CT scan to make sure that the infection isn't spreading. By the end of the night, Jase's eye wasn't as purple as it had been and he was able to open his eye a little bit and was acting his normal self-though he didn't go to bed until 10 and he refused to sleep in his own bed so he slept with us all night long.
I am working this morning so Matthew took Jase to instacare and the Dr. says that he is no longer concerned as it looks much better and he doesn't believe that we need to go to Primary's. He asked that we go back again tomorrow so he can look at it one more time and if it has improved again (as it should be with all the antibiotics he's getting) then he won't need to get anymore shots (he got 2 more today). So.....he's getting better....slowly....but better. :)

I'm so glad to hear he doesn't have to go to Primary's and SO glad to hear he's doing a little bit better. Poor little guy - I hate having sick kids - hope he continues to get well soon, he has such a good mommy taking care of him! ;)
Oh my goodness! Poor Jasers!!! I really hope the Benedryl and shots and antihistamine help. Please keep us updated. I have been thinking about him so much the last few days. We were so worried! Love you all!
