Periorbital Cellulitis

When Abigail woke up the other morning she looked like she had been punched in the eye. It didn't seem to bother her at all and I knew she hadn't fallen or hurt herself.

The next day her eye was still red and swollen so I decided to take her to the doctor. They said it looked like a knat bit, honestly, I wasn't aware that a knat could bite, but apparently they do!

The following day I took her back to see a different doctor and she took one look at her and diagnosed her with Periorbital Cellulitus. An inflammation and infection of the eyelid and the skin surrounding the eye. Orbital cellulitis affects the eye socket (orbit) as well as the skin closest to it. The doctor said it was very serious and that Abby would need to start antibiotics immediately. I was instructed to take her straight to the ER if I noticed any change in her whatsoever.

Once I got to work
I googled "periorbital cellulitis" and this is what came up.....
A child who has orbital or periorbital cellulitis should be hospitalized without delay. Antibiotics are used to stop the spread of infection and prevent damage to the optic nerve, which transmits visual images to the brain.

After her second dose of antibiotics we could see that her eye was improving. Her eye is now completely healthy with no damage to the optic nerve.

Howdy would you mind letting me know which webhost you're using? I've
loaded your blog in 3 completely different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster
then most. Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a reasonable price?
Many thanks, I appreciate it!

Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found
a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter
and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed.

There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had
to tell someone!
