Lilah - Hospital Day 2

Lilah napping...
The swelling had gone down quite a bit overnight... that black mark on her face is pen used by the doctor to mark where the swelling was the night before.
How her face looked later in the day before they came to drain her lip...
Prior to the drainage... the infection moved down from her eye but was sitting in her lip with no where to go.
Post-drain... this was what it looked like after being drained.
She's still in great spirits!

Her bed... :-(
Mommy's bed :-(
Yesterday (Wednesday) the infection was slowly draining out of her face. The antibiotics were working, just moving slowly. The infection drained from her left eye down to her lip where it collected. Her lip swelled up quite a bit. An oral surgeon was brought in last night to make a small incision on her lip and express the liquid and pus that was in there. After the expression, her lip went down dramatically! It looks bad in the picture but it looks great to mommy and daddy! She's still in great spirits... laughs, smiles, talks and plays. She's not effected mood-wise at all... I think if anything she's just frustrated that she can't put her left hand in her mouth! We're still waiting for the culture results...
