Chinfection update

Yesterday morning I got a wake up knock from Mary said she needed help. Turns out that Jack's chin boil thing had popped. No trauma, he was just playing in the living room and it opened up. After a bit of cleaning him up and Mary talking to the advice nurse on the phone we made yet another trip to Kaiser...ER again. The doctor inspected his chin and decided the best course of action was to drain some of the fluid inside. It seemed like it took forever, they had to restrain him with a blanket and then stick a needle in his chin. I chickened out and waited outside the room, but Mary stayed in with him and toughed it out. After a bit Jack calmed down from his crying and he got a big band aid for his chin. He is still on the antibiotics but the chin bump is very much smaller and looks like it's starting to get better. Tomorrow he goes back in for his pediatrician to take a look at it, then hopefully we can stay away from Kaiser for a while.

  1. Poor Jack. Cowboy up Curt. There will be more Kiddie accidents in the future. You can count on that.
