The Reaction

My grandparents have five cats.  Josh is horribly allergic to cats.  So before we left, we got him an expensive prescription and some sleep inducing drugs.   But we forgot to think about Dylan. 

Ryan has never shown any problems with cats, so I just didn't think about it.  But, one night, one of the cats found a comfy spot in Dylan's crib. 

His eyes started to look red, puffy, and irritated.

Then they got goopy and swelled shut.
He also sounded congested.  He was sneezing and had a runny nose.
I kept an eye on him.  But I thought by morning he'd be fine.

But by morning he looked like death.  His color was pale and green.  His eyes were dull with bright red rims. He was breathing through his mouth because his nose was completely stuffed up.   He looked awful.
We thought maybe if we got him out of the house for a bit that would help.

We decided to go to the zoo.  The air did seem to help him.  But his eyes were still watery and a little gunky.

Dylan's grandma Kangas called while we were there after seeing a picture of what he looked like that morning.  She was concerned and recommended we go to urgent care.  So, we did.  We got some steroids and eye drops for him.   Later that evening, he finally looked all better!
