We've been focused on Henry's facial swelling of late. He's not been able to see out of his right eye for days and now his left is beginning to swell. At the rate it's going it will also be shut tomorrow.
We've contacted the doctors and are awaiting word, but we expect to drive to Baltimore today for admission. The alternatives of nutrition modification or other medicines are too slow and we're fearful that waking up tomorrow and not being able to see will really scare Henry.
A redeeming factor is that he's been in a terrific mood, very agreeable, however a bit moody. He enjoyed a visit from a family friend yesterday, we built a birdhouse and painted it and went to see Madagascar 2 with the girls and Tara yesterday evening.
**Update** We've started applying pressure to his eyes with some good results, which may buy us a couple more days before we need to treat him more aggressively.

That wallaby was made by Tara - he looks great in it doesn't he.
That is a great smile, Henry. Keep on smiling.
We hope they figure out how to reduce the swelling quickly. Our kids deserve as little fear as possible.
Love and hugs,
Wayne, Shirley, Sophia, and Fiona

We're also hoping for a quick response to some treatment if Henry has to be admitted. Wonderful to hear though that he's still in a great mood and enjoying working on some projects!
Love, Julie, Brad, Patrick, Andrew and Samantha
Im glad the pressure on his eyes is helping some with the swelling. I hope it helps more.

We saw Madagascar last week and loved it. My husband especially loved the penguins! Who is your favorite character? Good luck at the hospital--we will send positive thoughts your way so you can get back home ASAP!
