Toe Trouble

Having a foot soak
Working the sympathy
He didn't like sitting there, so he asked brother to join him

Poor Brycie has a little cut under his toe nail that happened while we were camping and last night he was complaining that it hurt. I pulled his sock off and found his toe to be red, warm, and swollen to 3 times the size it should be. I gave him some motrin, scrubbed it with some antiseptic, put on some antibiotic ointment and bandaged it up. Well, this morning it looked worse: more swelling and the redness is spreading up his foot in a line. NOT GOOD!!

The doctor met us at his office and said in his heavy accent, "Yes, BAD infection, need antibiotic". We started the medicine today along with some foot soaks two times a day and we see the Dr. again on Monday. Meanwhile Bryce is in a lot of pain, but trying to be tough so he can play outside with Blake!
