Its been quite some time since Elliot or any of us have gotten a serious boil.
We have had a few little pimples that go quickly but nothing big. Until this week.
My little one started getting very congested and I assumed it was allergies so we treated it with claritin and hoped it went away, which it didn't.
A few days later we take my son out to the trampoline and while he is jumping I notice a bump on his leg.
I immediately knew it was MRSA so I quickly take hims side and start scrubbing.
By the time I saw it it already was a pimple and well developed. It still bogs my mind as to how I did not see it before.
It popped, got hard and that's when I knew a trip to the doctor was in order because we had no antibiotics. By God I wish we did.
Fast forward to the today, the wound was so angry, red and huge.
When we took him to the doctor she said his throat was red. Which means he has a sore throat. Why is it that every time he is sick he gets MRSA? It's mind boggling.
about an hour ago I noticed it had a head again so I took him to the bath and scrubbed it. It popped again and lots of puss came out. I was shocked. My little trooper only whined, did not cry. He is so strong.
I hope all the puss came out.
I took him out the bath and put mupirocin on it.
The sad thing is I do not have a routine, I do not have a plan or a cure to help him when he gets these. I have all but given up as there just isn't enough information or resources or help out there for a child or even an adult with MRSA.
I wish there was a cure or vaccine because I would surely give it to him in a second.
Fuck MRSA.
