A scary threat...

Friday I get a call from Jeremy's teacher that the sore on his leg is swollen, red, hot to the touch and growing I know what cellutites is because we deal with that, although it's been 5 years but if Jeremy gets a spot on him he will keep messing with the area and normally ends up getting it infected. I also had several flash backs the 1st was 7 years ago, us being in the hospital for 12 days and on Mother's day battling a shunt infection and then 5 years ago of being home with IV antibiotics battling cellulties on his knee. If you have a child w/ special medical needs you know exactly where my thoughts are coming from, its a scary threat in our world. We seen Dr. Rippey who is Dr. C partner he did a good job in checking Jeremy out, we know Dr. R and have met him but have never actually seen him in a visit, he's a super nice physician. You can tell me cares, I've ran into him often when I'm visiting families at the Children's hospital he is checking on his patients. He gave him bactrim an oral antibiotic and bacaban an antibiotic cream and Jeremy's spot is spreading but it's fading so good sign. Jeremy is also not being cranky today. Dr. R culture it and said it was probably staph because he had several spots on his nose and that is where it seems to live.
