Yeah I’ve been busy and ignoring my blog, but if I don’t post tonight I think Jean might give me a whipping tomorrow night at our camera club meeting. More of our busyness after the pictures.
So Jake and I had our pictures in our camera club contest and neither one of us won anything, but Jake was so excited that he got a green participation ribbon.
He entered this photo he took of himself at the San Diego Zoo. I thought it was pretty creative.
I entered these ~
I also entered another one of a plumeria flower but it’s on my other computer and I’m too lazy right now to go and find it, but it was pretty.
I almost entered this one ~
So yeah a busy last couple weeks. Jake had his 4yr physical and had to get a couple shots. Well one was for chicken pox, and all was well until he went to bed the day after. He had a huge red welt on his arm where one of the bandaids was from where he got the shot. So I gave him some Motrin cause he said it hurt. He comes into our room around 2:30am saying his arm hurt and he wanted some more ice water. We got him some water and some more Motrin and he slept with us for the night. Well he wakes me up at 6:45 saying his arm hurt. I look at it and it was really red, hot and nasty looking. So as soon as the doc’s office opened we went down there. He needed to go anyway because they had to check his TB shot, but when I showed him the other arm with the red they rushed him right into a room and got the doc in there.
So she said it looked like he had some pox but they were under the skin, but he did have a staph infection from the shot. She was really concerned with the area the shot was given, because it was not in the right spot they give shots in. I knew this because of my years of giving shots to people, but I wasn’t concerned at the time of the shot and didn’t pay attention to the nurse giving him the shot 2 days prior. I was holding him so he wasn’t too scared, just being a normal mommy and making sure he feels safe.
So the doc puts him on some antibiotics and told us to come back in 2 days to see if it was just the infection or the combo of the pox and the infection. Lucky us when we went back on friday 2 days later, it was the combo! So he got to stay out of school for yet another week which sucked because it was to be his last week of school till the end of summer.
Jake is fine now and the pox never spread from the area of the shot, thank god. I remember having the chicken pox and I was miserable! We are going to head to the LA Zoo on Wednsday with one of his friends from preschool. I guess I’ll have to remember t o charge his camera battery before that morning, if I don’t I will hear about it for days!
