Nathan drew out a buck tag this year so last weekend we met Grandma and Grandpa Andersen (Mike & Jill) near Ely, Nevada to do the deer hunt. (Uncle Greg and Taylor drew out too in the same area so they came too.)
Nathan got his deer and the next day Taylor got his. Nathan and Mike jumped in to help Taylor with his deer and since we hadn't taken pictures with Nathan's deer we posed with Taylor's. Harlow picked up the antlers and afterward touched his face. Both eyes swelled up, nearly shut. It was right as we were packing up so we helped get him taken care of then were on our way home. His eyes got gooped shut, which kinda scared him. In Nephi we were able to get some benedryl and dinner. His eyes, though significantly better, stayed swollen a few days. Within the week he and Nathan were out doing yard work and he found Nathan's antlers. I was at a RS activity when I got the above picture in a text. I thought he had fallen in the tub and hit his face on the water spout, nope, it was the antlers again. There have been no effects to his respiratory system at all, so we are very grateful for that and we now have all sorts of benedryl and eye drops for this guy. ((So, to be honest, we are guessing but still pretty sure that its the deer dander or something similar, but I guess it could be anything that was out there that both deer happened to rub on them...I guess only more eyes like this will tell))
