Doctor, Doctor..give me some news...

I spent the day in teh ER with Danny. He had an abcess that needed to be drained. Ugh. On Tuesday I noticed a pimple on his side. On Wednesday it was bigger, but still looked like a pimple. Yesterday when I picked him up it looked bad. I did hot compresses, Tylenol and hydrocortisone. It looked better this morning but i decided to call the doc just in case b/c of the long weekend. I am so glad I did. They saw him at 11:00 and decided to send us to the ER to have it drained. It was awful. At first he fell asleep so it was OK and they put a topical anesthetic on. When they came back to inject with Linacain (sp?) he was awake and not happy. I had to hold him against me and they sliced him with a scalpel. He screamed so much, it broke my heart. I started cryimng with him as I tried to sing to him. I sing "You Are My Sunshine" whenever it's time to go to sleep or if he needs to be calmed down. Some pus came out and they ended up putting a wick in to keep the site opened to allow for drainage. We go back to the ped tomorrow to have it repacked. Poor little fellow. We think it started with a bite. Over the summer he got an insect bite that turned into something that looked like cellulitis, so I think he is just extremelt allergic.
This has not been a very Merry month for my poor little man. I ended up missing my office party too. It was the last one before we split as a group so I was a little sad. When I left work I planned on going back so I left my coat there and everything.
Let's just hope Danny heals quickly.
