No amputation necessary

Blaine had some type of bite on his foot yesterday which I thought was a mosquito bite. This morning his ankle was swollen and red. We went to Wal-Mart and by the time we left his entire lower leg was swollen and the bite was oozing puss and very red. As I pulled in my neighborhood, luckily my neighbor that lives 3 houses down is a Pediatric nurse at St. Johns Hospital was also pulling in so I took Blaine over there for her to look at his foot. She tells me to get him in to the doctors office pronto or take him to the ER. Seriously- y'all know this is just my luck! Here I bought all this fun swimming stuff and pool only to be on the phone with the doctor. UGHHHHH! ARGHHHH!
Well- he definitely has a serious fast growing infection (with a fever) and he is on some serious antibiotics that they treat staff infection with. He is to keep it elevated and we are awaiting the culture results. Talk about just crazy! Enjoy the gross pics! These were taken early this morning, prior to the leg swelling and oozing puss Poor quality- sorry.
