4 months old/ MRSA
We went to Cait's 4 month well check and we found out she is well. She looks great. And is doing fabulous. She just has dry skin, which doesn't surprise me because my boys do too. She is 14.5lbs and is embracing all her rolls. Yesterday we tried rice cereal for the first time and she loved it. About 1/2 way through she was really getting the hang of it. Don't get me wrong she made a mess of everything near her but it was fun.
While at the doctors I had them look at Landon's hand. A couple of days ago he looked like he had a bug bite and it was swollen. Then I picked him up from the gym day care and it was triple in size, bright red, and HOT. I have been giving him benedril and the redness and heat is going away but it is still swollen. The doc said it is MRSA and luckily his body seems to be fighting it so great for him but if it doesn't get better or if it gets any worse then we need to get him back in right away. Christian had MRSA when we were first married and he was hospitalized for 3 days and it got so bad. The doc said that there have been quite a few reported cases in our area and the common comment is that they think it is a spider bite.
