Hi Guys:
I'll be in and out the next 24-36 hours.
My 5-year-old son had a regular old garden variety elbow scab develop into a nasty infection last night. When he started complaining about his underarms hurting, I was concerned. When he developed a fever, I got him right over to the ER.
Turns out his scab turned into lymphangitis, which basically means his lymph nodes were involved in a pretty ambitious infection. They said either staph or strep. The course of treatmen was the same ...
Anyway, they IV'ed him with some aggressive antibiotics, and the pediatrician said he should stay the night so he could get a few more doses under his belt before they sent him home with orals. So the wife is getting all set up at the hospital with him. I'll be in and out, since the hospital is only a mile or so away.
Somebody watch the polls and poke the fire every once in a while, will ya?
And though all looks like it's under control, a prayer would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick

You've got it Rick, consider the prayers on their way and I am sure things will go well.
Don't worry about the fire, you know these guys can keep it "HOT" and all will be fine.
Go take some time for your family and give your son all our best wishes.

More prayers coming from this direction. With a 5 year old son of my own (and a 5 yo daughter <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />), I can only imagine what you're going through.
Hoping to hear of a quick recovery!
Best,
Scott
