Our Uninvited Guest

You know the kind. Visitors that unknowingly show up at your door and stay for weeks on end with no sign of leaving.  You end up spending way too much money entertaining them (and then trying to get rid of them) and yet you share no real quality time together. I've seriously had it with our most recent guest!  Oh the amount of cleaning and laundry I've done the past two weeks. Our whole family is a complete mess right now!  Marcos is freaking out, I've tried everything I can think of to remedy the situation, Dylan's protective instincts have kicked in as he plans an attack, and Preston...poor Preston is the real victim in the whole ordeal.  My baby can't even sleep at night any more.  Oh the problems this uninvited guest has created for the youngest member of our family.  This inconsiderate visitor has yet to introduce himself to us, but evidence points to an eight-legged, brown/grey-ish colored pest who is tremendously skilled in hiding and escaping from even the most skilled exterminator.  In case you doubt the severity of our situation, I am posting evidence of the unwanted pest's existence.  

The first mysterious bite

Two more bites a few days later (wrist and thumb)

The result of so many bites 

(it's hard to see just how swollen his hand was - poor little guy)

As the swelling goes down, his hand gets redder and more blotchy 

(again hard to see in the picture, but you'll have to trust me on this)

This is what his other hand looks like so you have some sort of reference

I took Preston to the Dr and we're watching him closely.  I have a prescription in case the red marks change direction.  For now, the only benefit to the whole ordeal is the need for Benadryl every night for several days.  At least I know my baby will be able to get some sleep! :)
