Quasimodo

Do you recognize some similiarities in these next several pictures?






Jacob is very allergic to things that bite him.  One morning he woke up with a swollen forehead with a little bite mark in two places.  as the day progressed it got worse and next day was worse than the first.  His eye was swelled shut.  I took him to the doctor but they didn't really do anything besides tell me to give him benadryl.  That night he busted open his head while playing on a neighbors brick fence.  He really looked like a sight.  A week late he got bit again and the same thing happened (swollen head and eye swelled shut the next day).  I am going to really have to be careful with him this summer when we go camping.  I guess some people really  have a reaction with things like that.

I love the pictures of him! Well of course I feel sorry for him, but he's just so cute, even with everything swollen. Too bad I couldn't have seen it in person. I hear that the pictures didn't do it justice. Thanks for posting them though so I can see my cute brother. Hopefully this doesn't happen too often though.

Wow, he really does look like Quasimodo. He is so funny looking. Poor kid. Maybe you should consider spraying him with bug repellent before he goes to sleep each night;)

I love the comparison to the Hunchback. How funny. Poor Jacob, it will be so nice to see his face back to normal. You might have to get your house sprayed for spiders to save that poor kids face.
