Tuesday morning Cannon woke up completely swollen and red on his entire body. When I saw him I just cried because he looked like someone kicked the crap out of him! I didn't even recognize him. The picture below was taken Tuesday afternoon, he looked a lot better! I wish I would have taken a picture of him in the morning, but I was too busy freaking out! I took him to the Doctor to let him see it, and he said he was almost certain it is an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. He gave me a couple doses of a liquid steroid to reduce the swelling and pain. Kevin is hoping the steroid will also buff him up a bit too. Maybe we will have him start lifting weights and see if he gets huge.

Hives!
On Monday morning Cannon broke out into hives. It wasn't too bad, just a few spots on his face and some on his legs. I called his doctor and he said that he's probably allergic to the antibiotic he's been on. We started him on one a week ago because he developed an ear infection. So I stopped the antiobiotic and gave him a little Benadryl.
