Can You Hear Me Now?

Last Sunday Little Ben woke up with a very red, puffy, swollen ear. He wasn't bothered by it and didn't seem to be in any pain, he just didn't want anyone touching it! Liz doesn't know what happened, but she's suspecting a bite of some kind. She took him to Insta Care to have it looked at. They gave him some amoxicillan (sp?) and marked with a pen where the swelling had spread. Then they sent him home with Liz and told her to watch the ear carefully to make sure the swelling and redness didn't spread any farther. Luckily now, a week later, the swelling and redness has almost completely disappeared. The only thing left is a little bit of peeling skin on the outside of his ear that looks like the remains of a blister or sunburn. Has anyone ever had an experience like this before. We're all wondering what in the heck happened!?!?!?!

This sounds just like what happens to Cathryn when she gets an ant bite. I'd go with a bug bite of some kind.... Interesting!
