Ken has not had the best week this week. Monday he starting complaining about an insect bite on the top of his hand. It was a little red and swollen so he went on to the doctor. Tuesday passes along with Wednesday, no change really...other than the "bite" getting much larger. Thursday, it was
ridiculously HUGE and he decided to take another trip back to the doc. Doc then decides to lance it. Fun...I know. This morning he woke up and his hand and wrist were huge!!!! I ordered him (nicely of course) back to the doctor again. He gave him a shot of
Genomycin (
sp?) and another kind of oral
antibiotics with orders of warm, moist heat to help draw up the infection.
hmm....
This is Ken's hand after the doc and shot today...

And here is the patient now...doctor's orders!

Does anybody know if its safe for him to hold Brody....just wondering...

poor thing....tell him i'm so sorry! i bet Brody will give his hand magic healing if he holds him :)...I'm sure it's not contagious or anything...hope he feels better...
Is it some type of spider bite or something? The only fear would be if it has staph in the infection. If so then it could be contagious. You should all be washing your hands as a precaution.
Nicole- just wanted to let you know that you have been tagged on my blog- love you!
