So, we made a trip to the emergency room in Iowa City tonight. Timmy woke up with some slight swelling over his cochlear implant this morning. After he first nap, it was larger so we left his outside piece off, to give it a chance to rest. After his second nap, it was even bigger. By this time it was 6pm and of course doctor's office is closed. They did give us the option of bringing him in early that day when we had called because we were concerned, but we had decided to go with a wait and see approach because there was no sign of infection and Timothy was acting just fine. We get to the hospital and spend three hours waiting for answers that never came. They put him on antibiotics, just in case, and told us to follow up with his doctor and to not put the outside piece back on unto the doctor gave the okay. It was completely normal by the time he went to bed that night. The human body is a mysterious thing.
