Ben was stung by a wasp of some sort and it was just fine for days. But about 6 days later he woke up that morning and his little hand was SOO swollen that he couldn't grasp or close his hand!? So we headed to the Dr's office for some advice and left with some advice and antibiotics because it was infected. We also discussed how Ben's health has been doing. So far we've upped his medication dose for the second time this year. Our Dr was concerned that maybe we were just putting a "big bandage" on something that could be more serious. So he suggested that we see another Dr in that clinic and if he doesn't have anymore ideas we were back to Salt Lake City for some more testing. (Oh boy! I personally thought we had this all figured out!?)
So today we saw the other Dr in the clinic and got his advice. We are now monitoring Ben's eating habits along with the medication. We are no longer suppose to force feed him but let him decide if he wants to eat. So we are suppose to provide 6 meals(breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack) a day and let him choose if he eats or not. If he gains weight then we just keep going. If he doesn't and starts to loose weight then we are back to Salt Lake for further instructions.
Just thought that all of you who are wondering how Ben is doing would like an update!
