So the Thursday before Easter, I noticed this tiny little red dot on Ya'shar's face, next to his mouth. I thought it was maybe a scratch or a little bug bite, but we don't have any bugs... FOUR hours later, it had developed into something I vaguely remembered seeing in a fat text book in nursing school. And a few hours after that, full blown NASTINESS! I was pretty sure it was impetigo, but I took him to the doctor the next morning to make sure, and sure enough, we walked out of the office a few minutes later with a prescription for antibiotic ointment!
Very itchy, very oozy, very contagious, very many other huggy kissy children in the house! Very many bandaids used!!!! And oh dear, very many people coming to the house on Easter Sunday! OK, only two, but still....
Of course, I should never have worried, because.....

Oh goodness. Nice work mom on keeping it from spreading to the other kiddos! Amazing how quickly his skin is back to perfect! When are you going to be in OH again?
We'll get there Wed night the 29th and come back home Mon May 4th. So fast of a trip, but a nice little break off to see the fam! Enjoy your time there as well! When are you guys going back?
Looking foward to seeing you - my sister said there's a Menn. church out there that has a big indoor playground, maybe we could all meet there for a couple hours and let our kids romp around! I'll keep you posted!
Love, Sheila
