A Rough Couple of Days

Drew has had a hard couple of weeks. We went an entire year without illness or injury, then he turned a year! At his year appointment, they gave him his chickenpox vaccine, which is completely standard. Drew, however had been sick that previous Sunday and Monday (his appointment was Thurs.) with a 102 temp. We took him to his appointment anyway and they gave him the vaccine because he was not running a temp at the time. About a week and a half later, we noticed a rash near the injection site, and sure enough he had gotten the chickenpox! It was a very mild case. After the rash went away, he got really congested and weezy, so we took him back to the doctor and they gave him a steroid for five days. He finally started feeling better this weekend, until today that is! We had a snow day today and we were playing in the living room. Drew was walking around having a grand time, until he fell and hit his head on the corner of the coffee table. It was the loudest thing I've ever heard! It was a really deep cut. We took him to the doctor and they decided to super glue it closed because of it's location and for cosmetic reasons. Hopefully this is our last trip to the doctor until Drew's 15 month appointment. The chickenpox kid!

We have to cover it with a bandaid, so he doesn't mess with the glue.

Here's what it looks like post super glue. I didn't take a picture of it when it happened. I wish I would have!
