Doctor's Visit

Emily woke up Saturday morning with an infected thumb. Her skin around her thumb nail was white with a red outline. Chris noticed it immediately and Emily decided that she needed to go to the doctor. It was a busy Saturday to fit a doctor's visit in but we did it.
Emily wouldnt allow Chris or I to touch her thumb and was saying "ow" when ever we tried to touch it. Well that changed once the doctor touched it. The doctor poked it with a needle and drained it. Emily didnt even flinch. The doctor confimed that it was a staff infection. I guess staff is quite common here in the south. She is on a heavy dose of antibiotics and a topical antibiotic too. Pretty scary stuff! She seems to be alright now except for having to take the nasty medicine with a whole glass of water twice a day.
