My poor buddy :(

I noticed last Thurs Eli had these lil' bumps. I thought maybe just irritation. That boy is so white anything looks more than it is. As the day went on I noticed they started to turn red. So of course the first person I call is my madre. I tell her everything and am possibly thinking it could be chickenpox. My sweet, saint of a mom came ALL the way down to my house to see if it looked like chickenpox. She checked him out and said it could possibly be, but looked like it prob. is something else. Great!! I waited that day and when Friday came by, the bumps started to kinda scab. And more were coming in. At this point he had maybe five bumps, but I knew something wasn't right. So I call his doc and luckily got in at 11 that morning. No makeup and my hair looking like a clowns, I rush and put Eli's clothes on and we hurry to his docs. And thank goodness it's like five mins. away. 


Well turns out his lil' heat rash on his neck, has turned into a secondary infection. -->Staph! AWWW....What staph?! But good thing I went with my instincts and got him seen, cuz if not it could have worsened over the weekend causing my angel love more discomfort.


She prescribed him an ointment and some oral antibiotics. He's been on it for two days now and I'm seeing a lil' improvement, not a lot, but she said it could take up to five days. So we gotta sit and wait it out. That kid never catches a break. But it really doesn't seem to bother him. And we gotta keep everything clean. Very sterile for now, so it doesn't spread. The third day, which is tomorrow, the antibiotics should kick in so it won't be contagious anymore. So yes, that's our life right now. Inside. UGH! I can't wait to go out tomorrow. And poor pups all they wanna do is give him kisses, but right now they can't cuz they can spread it. I've had to get a lil' more vocal with them, then they are used too. I think Max's feelings are hurt cuz he won't give me any kisses -->brat! 


It's crazy, just that infection brings a flood of thoughts leading to other things. Could it get worse? What if it puts him in the hospital? What if it is MRSA? Should I have brought him in the first day I saw them? Am I good mom? The thoughts are endless, and so is worrying for a child.


Well hopefully it clears up soon cuz I stress way to easily and don't even wanna imagine going in if it doesn't.
