Well Jeff has been gone for 1 week, 2 more to go! :( Jeff says he really likes his job and he thinks it will be a good change. He says these 3 weeks will be the hardest because it is all classroom work. Long hours just sitting in a classroom. He has met some really good guys that he has been hanging out with and car pooling with. He will come home around the first part of September for a week then he will go back for 15 days and off 6 days. I still feel like this was a really good move on our little family even though it will be hard to get use to. Tripp goes around the house at night saying dad dad dad in every room, he is so a daddy boy that he does not understand where his dad is. Brackston understands that his dad is at work and he will be back after 3 church days. He is planning a welcome home party for his dad. He has been so cutie about the whole thing.
Events that have happened sense Jeff left Sunday at 5:30pm
Sunday night notice a red spot on Tripps Leg about a 50¢ piece hot and red. So I marked it with a pen and went to bed thinking it was a spider bite.
Monday Morning the red spot was a little bigger and Tripp would not let you touch it. I took him to my parents house where my dad was watching him. By 2pm my mom calls and says I think we need to get him in to a doctor. YIKES NO INSURANCE DO TO CANTWELLS! oh well what do you do other than just take them. Got him into Dr. Horkley his pediatrician at 5:30pm where Dr Horley looked at it and says it needs to be lanced. So he put liodicane cream on it and we went and ate at the cafeteria at the hospital. Then we went back and the put a 20 gauge needle in his leg and drained all the Brown stinky puss out. We got out probably like 2 tablespoons full of puss. GROSS! This whole time I holding down my screaming child so the doctor could get all the puss out. SAD! The Doctor told me he doesn't think it is a spider bite he thinks it is a infection call MRSA. He also believes that is what his so called diaper rash is to. NOT GOOD AT ALL! so he gave us an antibiotic thank goodness it is one that you can get a Walmart for 5 dollars!
Tuesday morning I woke up and his leg was WORSE YES WORSE! so I called the doctor and they would not get back to me until about 2:00 pm and the doctor want to see him again at 4:30. During that day he would not even walk on his leg he would hold on furniture and walk along the furniture. So I stayed home with him instead of going to work and I was taking out the garbage and he followed me out there and he fell getting off the steps and scraped up his chin really bad. About 2ish I notice another red spot on his other leg. and his butt was getting worse also. So when we went in the numb up his leg again and drained it again. This time we got about 2 more tablespoons out! and he said about the other leg and butt that the antibiotic should be kicking in within 48 hours so he thinks that they should clear up on there own.
Wednesday His leg is looking a little better lease not worse! but the other spot is getting a little bigger so were keeping an eye on it. My grandma Peggy watch the boys. So she just snuggled Tripp. Brackston fell and hit a chair and cut himself by his eye. Thank goodness no stitches but it sure does look sore.
Thursday the big sore on Tripps leg is looking a lot better but it still has a hard spot in it. But the other one on his other leg was getting more red and hard so I was brave and I just popped it like a big zit puss went all over. Thank goodness I was prepared knowing that this infection is contagious. So that night I put ban-aids with medicine on both legs hoping that the infection would go down.
Friday morning they were both looking better but I have not looked at them without the ban-aids on them so when I get home from work I will look at them. But the hard spots where going down. So lets keep are fingers cross that we have beat this infection. and the no one else gets it.
Saturday I have to be on call from 7-5 without a hubby home to take care of the boys if I get called out. So thank you to my in-laws that are willing to be on call for this period of time. Sitting by a phone just waiting for the phone call saying I'm leaving come and get the boys. Thank you Alan and Ileen for your help!!
Sunday will hopefully be an easy day! Go to church and relax rest of the day! We will see if that happens.
This is my First week without my husband. Lets hope next week goes a little better. I just can't wait to be a stay at home mom and do this!
