Well its not that bad, but just wanted to give a warning before I gave Ken's update. For those who don't know, Wednesday Ken went to the doctor because he had huge bump on his stomach surrounded by a softball size red swollen ring. Obviously not just a mosquito bite. You might remember the "spider bite" he had earlier this year. Doc said it was another round of Staph, which we suspected and was placed on two antibiotics with orders to come back friday to have it lanced.
Yesterday he went back and the doctor went ahead and numbed the spot...well Ken said he could feel everything so I'm not exactly sure what happened there. Then doc lanced it and opened it to let it drain...I told you not for the weak stomach...and then packed it with an antibiotic gauze. He has to keep this in until Monday. And he is working 11 hour days in the 100 degree heat all weekend. I don't know if he'll really ever get rid of the infection, we just treat the spots when they come up.
