The good news is that Tommy quickly got off the pain meds, slept through the night from the very first evening and in general has done really well. The bad news is that we are on house arrest due to a massive case of the hives. After chit chattin' with Dr. Niparko for the most of the weekend, (and lots of email pix), it's been determined that he is experiencing an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. I was skeptical at first, but the worse it has gotten and the more widespread, the better I feel. In the beginning it was near his implanted ear, but now he's covered to his knees. He looks absolutely terrible, but isn't itchy - maybe a little bitchy, but not itchy. Thankfully, he's been oblivious to it for the most part. We've been ordered to stay out of the sun and heat...yeah. Just as the weather has gotten nice...no pool was bummer enough.
Fingers crossed that the hives get out of his system soon.

Child, YOU need to be under house arrest and take a break from all of the traveling. You make us all look bad. My best to Tommy...poor baby...that' the last thing he needs is to be itchy. Oh, and I love my ENT by the way. He's not at Hopkins but god bless him. Only in Frederick can one go to an ENT due to crackling noises in my operated year, have a full hearing test that same day, and be precribed Xanax for TMJ...for daily use! Nahhce!
