Kemp Cellulitis

Well lets see... Wednesday afternoon a good friend of mine and I found this weird swollen inside part of the ankle on Kemp (my oldest) around 3 ish or 330 ish, it was very very red, hot to the touch and very swollen... I washed it really well thinking he got into something, didnt see anything and it felt very very hard, in that area... So I called the doctor they told me to give him benedryl to see if it went down and what not, they called me at about quarter to 5 to check on him still the same they told me to take him to ER... So I did so... when I got into there the doctor was very rude to me, Im thinking his peds sent me in here, why are you being rude to me... they figure because its not that big of an emergency, well so he said it wasnt, the heck it wasnt thank god I called his doc in the morning and got him in... the ER gave us an antibotic which we started that night... i got him into his peds in the morning, oh wait, let me tell you what they said at the ER they said it was cellulitis (sp?) which it was and is... so I take him to Peds where it had spread up his leg... Kemp in very much pain... the ER told me to put Ice on it, umm wrong you put heat on it, 3-4 times a day, it needed to be cleaned out with soap and water alot all day and night long, it needed to be elevated, and marked with pen to see how far it spread... oh and that he shouldnt wear shoes or socks ect... lovely that the ER didnt tell me any of this, they acted like it was nothing... thank god for his peds... so they sent us home after markin up his leg, said to keep up with his meds, and give him IBU for pain... which wasnt cutting it but we dealt with it... and he did a good job, such a trooper... so today they called to check on us and its doing great, it all went down, doc said it might flare up one more time but then will be done, but so far it hasnt so we might be good, oh and they say it looks like a spider bite that infected under the skin, ouch and lovely and where did he get bite, our neighbor is a bug guy lol if you know what i mean, and he sprays our house for everything, i never see bugs here lol or at least in my house or near it lol... so I have no idea, but all in all he is okay and safe,


Remi is doing great with his tubes, can hear so much better, which is a good sign he didnt lose hearing, but if he did I dont know how much... he still loves loud noises though lol...
