Bumpdate

[judecorp]

So the pedi that we saw (not our actualy pedi, it's a big practice) thought that it was probably some nasty bug bite and said not to worry too much about it. He felt around and said that he didn't think it was staph. But he didn't make me feel like some crazy mom, either. He actually said that he was glad we came in, that staph does go around in kids and it's good to be aware of it and it can start like a red, hot bump. But he said he was pretty sure this one was just a bug bite.

He said that if it got worse, to call him right away and he would take care of it. Later that morning, I got Punk some MICKEY MOUSE band-aids (oh my gosh, I have a child!) and some neosporin and covered it up since we were going to a farm for a birthday party. It actually seems a little less red now and not very hot, so I guess the doc was right and it is on it's way out.

Thank goodness! I had visions of nasal cultures dancing in my head.

We've had so many mrsa around here, we've lost count. Julia is colonized. It totally sucks.

I'm glad it's nothing serious.

Another person might read that title and think you're pregnant again. :-)

Glad all is well!

I am glad to know that Punk is okay. I had a nasal culture recently, and I really don't wish that on anyone!
