Just when we thought we were getting better...

yesterday afternoon we were feeling better and we even made a spur of the moment trip to the cities to visit grandma and grandpa Tousignant. on the way there Seth showed me that his finger had gotten much worse. (flashback... pretty much as long as I've known him he's had a "ingrown hair" bump on his ring finger. its gotten better and worse over time but never anything to really worry about. Superbowl sunday, he noticed he lost his wedding ring and then showed me the bump had grown quite a bit. and it was a little tender. we discussed he should get it looked at but then this respiratory stuff came up. then he started the antibiotics for "the crud" and yesterday his bump started hurting more) so in the car, he shows me his bump is a bit larger and "angry looking" and his whole finger and up into his hand is now red and warm. he made an appointment for monday.

then this morning, we woke up to Eleanor having a fever of 101.2 so I decided to take her into the clinic. and Seth's finger was even worse so he went in too. Eleanor is ok but was started on antibiotics since it's gone on so long. Seth's finger was numbed and drained ("a lot of cottage cheese like stuff") and they cultured it to see what kind of infection it was. he also had an xray and they found a "spot" on his bone that may be bone infection so they want the radiologist to look at it and he will go back in next week to find out.

I am feeling ok for the most part. just "the crud" hanging on, but the best out of the 3 of us.
I will update as things progress.
