Well, it was back to the doctor yesterday for Nathan. He had been on antibiotics for almost a week and I just didn't feel like they were getting better like they should be. They are terribly swollen on the tips and it is preventing the nail from growing over the skin. I decided to see a different doctor in the practice since the last two didn't excite me too much and she seemed to want to chart out an aggressive treatment for him to try and get this resolved. So we changed his antibiotic, she swabbed samples from the infected area to make sure there wasn't a funky bacteria going on and I am supposed to soak his feet in water twice a day. And soaking a 3 month old's feet is REALLY fun!!! Especially when your 16 month old is crying and tugging at your leg while you are trying to hold a gigantic 15 lb baby's feet in a tupperware bowl of water. The joys of being a SAHM. So, he goes back in one week to be evaluated. The last resort (which may be the next resort) will be surgery to take his nails off so the area can heal properly. But that involves putting him under for surgery which is risky. So please, send healthy, non-swollen toe vibes our way!
