Ouchies!!




Both kids had "boo boo's" this week. Maddie has been scratching like crazy for almost two weeks now. She has had several pimple looking bumps show up on her belly, the backs of her legs, ankles, and a few other random spots. We kept waiting for them to go away, were giving her benadryl at night to help her sleep, and still they were there. So, Thursday we decided to take her to the doctor. Diagnosis-Folliculits?!?!?!? Never heard of it, but Maddie has it. It is kind of funny because just the day before Kim and I were discussing about how hairy Maddie is. Poor thing has dark hair on her back, arms, are already very hairy legs. So I guess she is a perfect candidate for folliculitis, which is an infection of the hair follicles. So....we were given an antibiotic to take for 10 days and after only 2 we can already tell a difference. So that is what she has dealt with this week.

Turner on the other hand is dealing with a self-inflicted wound, and one that I should have prevented. Our pantry isn't in a closet, it is just a tall cabinet that opens and closes like the rest of the ones in the kitchen. Turner is constantly opening it, pulling everything out, and either putting it back up or bringing it to us. Well yesterday morning, he decided to grab a can of tomato soup and on his way to show me, dropped it on his big toe!!! That would hurt me, so I knew he was in pain which explained why 20 minutes later...he was still crying:( I took some pictures but you can't really tell how swollen and purple it became. His fat feet are precious though so I am going to post them anyway. No pictures of Maddie's folliculitis, sorry. Hopefully next week we will stay boo boo free!
