As many of you know (or don't know), Taylor has been a pretty sick little guy this last little bit. He started by getting a antibiotic resistant staph infection known as MRSA. They had to put him on very strong antibiotics and he decided after a week on them to have an allergic reaction. I just thought I would post a picture of him with the hives so that the moms could see what it actually looks like. I hadn't seen it until Taylor broke out with it and I'm a Nursing student! Unfortunately, Taylor actually became worse after this picture and his entire body was covered!! He is much better now (afer 7+ visits to the doctor).
Another thought- MRSA is a horrible thing to have and it is becoming more and more common. It seems to be very common in daycare settings or anywhere that a lot of people come together. If your kids have what looks like a spider bite and it swells and is very hot, take them to see your doctor asap. It will only get worse if it's MRSA and can cause tons of problems! Not to scare anyone but I prefer to know what things are and what to do about them.
