Eye Troubles

Since Elli was 11 moths old, she has been getting cellulitis, an infection in the skin around her eye. (as seen in the picture) This week she got it again, the fourth time this winter and only two weeks after recovering from another one. So, the doctor referred us to an opthamologist. She went Tuesday to her appt and he wanted to do a CT scan. Elli responded negatively, to put it lightly, to the sedation, and was asleep barely long enough to do the scan. She was fighting the whole time, but thankfully doesn't seem to remember anything. (Much like the incredible hulk, seriously) They are now thinking she has sinusitis which has been causing cellulitis. She is also covered in hives due to an allergic reaction to one of the three meds in her body. She is now taking an antibiotic to help with the sinusitis and benedryl to help with the hives. It has been a week, to say the least:)
