I'm off to the ER in a few. Grandmonster has cellulitis again. His lips is so swollen he can't chew. This is the fourth time, hoping they come up with a different treatment that works.

I'm guessing the fact that we haven't heard from her in hours is NOT good news.....

Soooo....It wasn't abcessed..yet. THey drew blood, took 6 of us to hold him down. Plus a nasal swab. They gave him a pain pill, and he had a reaction to it...Lots of sitting and waiting....Finally released with 2 antibiotics and an antibiotic cream. No pain meds. He just came in and said it is starting to "lump" up. Sigh....If it does, its back t the ER to have it lanced. Poor kid is wiped out. Me too.

Its a MRSA infection. We've been fighting it since last summer. This is the third outbreak. We all tested MRSA negative. But his Mom tested positive. Once you have it, its so hard to get rid of.

Sure is hard to get rid of and so very painful for a little one. Hopefully this will be the time-it is so resistant to antibiotics but some doc's do the IV since it resistant to cillin PVK, methacillin etc...
Good luck and I hope it is over soon for him.

Today was another fun one. He abcessed over night. I took him to the doc, and he had to have it lanced and drained. He's out of school until thursday. He's sleeping a lot, very lethargic.

I think I have caught dh's cold....Going to be a fun holiday...

Oh Lori bless his little heart- the lancing is difficult for a little one. I hope this will be the last time he has this.
Sorry you are not feeling well but maybe by Christmas both of you will be on the mend!!

Thanks everyone. THe lancing went better then the first time. Last time we had to have 6 people hold him down. This time he was calm, and let me and the doc do it. He was embarrassed that he cried afterward. I told him I have grown men crying in the rig, that are in less pain that he was in.

Hoping today is a better day for him!
