Jumping Monkey Update
...had to go back to the doctor today, as there was a suspicious color under the Dermabond.
After some discussion where the doctor felt it might be "secondary [something...healing? too many hours and too much other stuff since then, I can't remember]" based on examination with strong light and magnification...but palpation proved otherwise, and off we went for to buy antibiotics. (The doctor noted that he'd never seen this before. *shrug* it's what I was alert for, and I'm afraid poor M is going to have a rather prominent scar there. :P)
Which turned into rather more of an adventure than I'd hoped. And in retrospect I wish I'd called around for the best price on the liquid Keflex. At least the doctor's office didn't charge for the regular-hours service. And we have another followup visit scheduled on Friday.
M further exacerbated the problem by yanking a too-tight shirt (nabbed out of the clothes cupboard) over his head. I managed to keep the removal of the shirt from becoming a further problem, but damage is done. Poor kid.
7 ml of artificial orange Keflex is a lot to suck down 2x a day. I might divide it up into four doses of 3.5ml instead, which we'd discussed with the doctor earlier.
Back to the html and design mines.
[ETA: P.S. - Huge huge huge thank yous to everyone who sent something. Kind of welling up and overwhelmed with the relief and gratitude. (And to thank you to everyone reading who offered emotional support and sympathy, whether or not it came with anything else.)(And to everyone who meant to, but had something else going on, too.)]
