one eyed monster

we got up on Saturday and Adler's eye was swollen shut. finally at about 10a we made it to a doctor. we drove around and went to a couple other doctor offices and even a pediatric urgent care but they were all closed. errrrrr. doctor thinks since the swelling is localized to her eye lid that it is either a sty or a bug bite. she is taking an antibiotic and now has the addition of eye drops. since it is very loose tissue that is why when she sleeps and is not using the eye, blinking and such, it puffs up. so the more she is awake and using the lid the swelling does go down. it does not look normal by any means and is still really red. as long as the swelling is localized to just the lid and she does not spike a fever we are just to continue what we are doing. if the swelling is above or below the eye or gets a fever then that is a trip to the ER.
