[4peasinourpod]

For those that haven't heard, my 7 year old has a horrific infection in her hand. She just went to the doctor and the diagnosis is in...a bacterial infection with a secondary herpes (think cold sores) infection


Her dad had to take her, so i will try and post a pic when she gets home. It is gross and UGly, though This is actually WAY better than this morning

[writerlady]

Oh - I'm so sorry. I hope it gets better quickly!

[labradormom]

I hope your little one is feeling better soon!

[scraptag]

[LyndaKay]

[bassets]

I hope the antibiotics heal it fast- ouch!!

[scrappininAK]

oh no - hope you can get it healed up quickly

[averys_mom]

Oh, that's awful! Hope she heals quickly!!!

[cynderellaj]

Awwww..poor kid. If she ends up getting cold sores alot now, my dentist gave me a prescription called acyclovar (or something close to that) that I start taking as soon as I feel the tingle in my lip that indicates one is coming and it really helps dry them up faster than on their own.

Poor little thing. Give her a hug!!!

one of my other daughters had a friend over with a cold sore last weekend. The ped said it is very common. Delaney has bad ezcema, and it was already cracked open, so it was just waiting to get infected. Or...it could have happened at school....no one knows.

Hope she heals quick now that she has some medication for it.

[MOM2SNOX]

Awww... poor little one! Hope they put her on Acyclovir! That stuff works wonders!!

[letumom]

Yuk, hope they can do something to clean up that infection.

[craftyfool]

Poor lil punkin!! Hope she gets better fast.

[-Shannon-]

Awe poor thing. I hope it heals quickly for her.

[grirosa]

So sorry for her. I hope feel better soon!

[Beth-W]

Poor baby! I hope she's not in pain. If it's not her texting hand, tell her she can text Bella.

[AlwaysHappy]

Oh Pam, I'm so sorry to hear that. It's a good thing dh took her to the doctor when he did. Those types of infections can get really nasty fast. I hope she gets better soon. Please keep us posted on how she is doing. That is so scary.
