Staph-arific...

Apparently our little candy corn buddy was too sweet and he got a mosquito bite while we were out trick or treating on Halloween.

We didn't think much of it Saturday when he woke up with just a small bite by his eye. By Sunday morning his eye started swelling and we really started getting worried.

We took him to the doctor and apparently he got a staph infection from the bite and it's spreading to his other eye - and even his ear. She said it was a very good thing we brought him in when we did.

So now Finn's drugged up on steroids, two kinds of antibiotics and an antihistamine (and mom's a nervous wreck!).



Poor buddy. Darn mosquitoes.

OH NO!! That's so horrible and scary! I'm sorry! But I'm glad you took him in.
