Okay, so you remember how I said earlier that we needed to get helmets and face masks for the kids? Well, apparently we need gloves as well! Sam was bitten by the cat on his finger but didn't make a big deal about it for 2-3 days. When he finally started complaining about it, it was looking discolored, swollen, hot and super infected. Luckily, our sweet Dr Berry (who is an ENT) saw us at church and called him in some antibiotics. We even had Kiley come take a look as well. After several days, it wasn't getting much better so we saw Dr. Marks (ortho) and he actually did a digital block on his finger in the office and opened it up to drain any infection. I can't tell you how PROUD I was of my Sam. He was SO big and brave during the procedure! He handled it better than most adults! We had to do wet-to-dry dressings for 7 days before it finally started to look better. I actually thought his finger tip was going to fall off before it got better! We are so thankful for sweet friends (who happened to be dr.'s) that helped us through it all!
Initial complaint
Bless his heart...he was worn out after his procedure! He got blue coban!
Here it is after it was cut open.
Healing process!
So, all the kids woke up one day with pink eye and Kathryn had fever. So off to the dr. we went for eye drops and school excuses. Poor Kendall...her eye was swollen and matted shut when she woke up
and we finally got it open. The kids were wild and crazy at the dr office. I know they were glad to see us go home!
Kathryn was laying out in the floor and rolling all on the ground!
They were being loud and playing games. All the folks in the waiting room were glad to see us go!
