itching to call

Jake's home all swollen up like a balloon...he's allergic to something and his eyes are even swollen almost all the way shut. I was hoping his rash and swelling would be gone by this morning but he's still sick. He's taking benedryl but so far no relief. I had to come to work today but Dan set up "jake cam" for me so i can check on him.

The problem is, all he's doing is sleeping. I keep watching and all I see is his comatose body there on the couch. So far I've called twice just to have a lil action on the web cam. I make him get up close too, so I can see his puffiness and then I let him go. I think he's on to my little game. He suggested I come home and just stare at him in person. What fun is that?
Kids are here for our entertainment.

Awww poor jake. I swelled up like that once but it turned out to be a result of excess fat, not an allergic reaction. :)

aww, poor kid. Sounds awful. Is it itching him? does he have a fever? I'm sorry to hear that all have been ill. Take some extra vita C and go get one of those doctor's masks to wear at home. I have a box of surgical gloves you can borrow to protect your hands from the germies. ;)
