We just got back from the hospital. They're not 100% sure what's going on, but they figure she's got an infection somewhere and they started her on IV antibiotics. I have to run her back and forth to emerg for the next couple of days for each bag of meds. -_- Will have to phone her dentist in the morning and see if he wants to do xrays and see if he can see any pockets of infection.
Just on the one side of her face though - the right side isn't even swollen anymore. The left side is something else though - it was still slightly swollen when she went to bed last night and when she got up this morning, the whole cheek was swollen, her eye was almost swollen shut, the left side of her nose was swollen right up, the left side of her top lip looked like it had done a couple of rounds with a boxer, and the swelling was down under her jaw and into her neck. I told the dentist she needed to have a round of antibiotics post procedure, but he figured she would be fine - even her rheumatologist told him to send her home on antibiotics after. Just hoping for her sake the meds kick in real quick.
