We had a good evening as a family tonight. We went to the Japanese restaurant in Carbondale. It was fun and good. Hamilton did quite well eating with the kids chop sticks.

Bennett was really tired today, he slept all morning. This is unusual for him here lately so it was kinda hard to see him in bed especially since he went to bed early at 10:30. We know he needs his rest so we let him sleep until he was ready to get up around 11:30.

He went outside later in the afternoon. And wore long sleeves and long pants while he hit a few golf balls around the yard.

We stopped at a couple places after dinner tonight and Bennett was having trouble walking. We got home and he took off his pants and long sleeve shirt. And his legs were beet red. His arms are still red but were not as beet or cherry red as the bottom of his legs.  His legs and ankles were also swollen.  I don’t understand it and it’s very upsetting. I gave him some Benadryl and he sprayed more solarcaine on his legs and arms. It really hurts, he says. I don’t think he is allergic to the aloe vera or solarcaine that we have been using but we can’t figure out why it’s worse.

He said he wanted to go to the hospital and get this all cleared up. I asked him if he wanted to go tonight and he finally said no not tonight. We will see how it is in the morning and decide from there. If it is some better than we will wait until Monday and ask the Dr. to see him in the clinic.
