Caleb's rough week

Caleb has been sick quite a bit since school started. This week was his third time throwing up in the last two weeks. It began on Tuesday night. He was running a fever and throwing up. On Thursday, I took him to the dr. and he was diagnosed with a sinus infection and put on an antibiotic. Then on Friday morning, he came up to me and his cheek looked like he had a Tootsie Pop in his mouth. It was very swollen and he was crying. I took a peek inside and saw a horrible looking nickel size spot. I took him to the dr. again and he said that Caleb had an abscess. He asked if he had been to the dentist recently and I told him that yes, he had gone in June and his teeth were all fine. So we're not quite sure why he got it, but it hurts to see him in pain like this. I have been giving his antibiotic (which the dr. said would clear up the abscess) and also his Motrin. Bless his heart, he is sleeping now. He missed three days of school last week and I'm hoping he feels well enough to go back to school on Monday because he loves school so much. But we will wait and see. It does look like it is changing, so I am hopeful it is getting better. Honestly, I have never saw one before. Caleb does obsess about things and he if he has thrown up, he usually talks about it over and over. So it didn't surprise me when I looked over and saw this the other day (top photo). I asked him, "What's Grover doing?" And Caleb said, "He's puking!" Poor Grover. The photo below shows Caleb's swollen cheek. You can see where his cheek is swollen on the lower left side of his face. This is one of the very few photos where Caleb isn't smiling.:(
