Life is grand, hectic, but grand. My husband and I have sold our first house, and moving into a bigger house, farther out of town. This new house has enough room for our son Griffin to grow in as well as house my husband's small business that is rapidly out growing our old house.

 

The house closed on Nov 10 and we had 7 days to move into the new house before we had to be out of the old one. How the heck to people move in just one day??? I will never ever know! So at this time, my parents were watching our son Griffin a lot while we packed and moved and cleaned, etc.

 

My Mother noticed a red bump above Griffin's eye. It was more in the eyelid part of his right eye. Kinda inbetween the eyeball and the orbit bone. About the size and density of a pea. As an active 21 month old boy, I really didn't think much of it. Maybe he fell and bumped his head? Maybe whacked himself in the eye with a toy? The bump continued to grow. It really bothered my parents, I was too busy (and working) to really take notice. My husband took him to the walkin clinic. We were told its a sty and not to worry.
