Update on Erik:
We saw the pediatrician this am then went across the street to the hospital for more IV antibiotics and a steroid push. Now we are home! The swelling/infection seems to be responding to this course of treatment, so we are not going to any more doctors...unless the bugger flares up again. We have 2 more days of steroids and antibiotics. Erik is feeling great, and in fact is at his acting class with Emma this afternoon. On to normal life!
