We're home, we're doing well and now...Charlie is sick again. He's really sick. He had to see a surgeon this morning. They think he has a staph infection in his neck. He cut himself shaving on Sunday morning and by Monday he had a big knot about the size of a quarter. Yesterday the knot was about golf ball size. He saw his primary care physician yesterday and she said if it wasn't better by this morning she'd send him to a surgeon and see what needed to be done. She did go ahead and start him on oral antibiotics as well as giving him a shot. This morning it was not better at all. As a matter of fact it was worse. So she sent him to see a surgeon. The surgeon said that it was most likely staph and we needed to jump on this right away. So he lanced the boil and got lots of gunk out of it. I have to flush it 3 times a day beginning tomorrow with peroxide. It looks better already. If it's not some better by tomorrow, then they'll have to hospitalize him for IV antibiotics.
I'm not ready for single parenthood...not even for a single night. So, please pray that the antibiotics start working and everything is much better by tomorrow.
Ian had a great night last night...but so far today...no nap. Not sure how tonight or this evening will be.
More as we get a chance.

Praying. It was so cool to see that as bad as Charlie felt yesterday, when he looked and talked with Ian, he just lit up. We are praying for each one of you. It was so precious to hold Ian. He is so cuddly. Keep us posted. Love you, Terry
