Since we returned from Cancun, Eli's eye pain has been resolving, so that has been becoming less concerning. On the other hand, he has developed edema in his left foot and leg that has been getting worse. He also has a small swollen lymph node in the inguinal area, which brings to mind the swollen …
Leaving the hospital with a normal temperature
While on our Florida trip, we went to Universal Studios where Eli rode his first roller coaster. He was reluctant to ride it because he said he was afraid of heights. He rode it anyway and had an exhilarating experience. Hagrid's involved a lot of steep ups and downs, sudden curves, stops and drops, and, …
