So it's been about 3 weeks since Matt was bitten by a spider. The bite happened on a Friday or Saturday and by the following Tuesday, it looked bad enough to go to the doctor. The doctor decided that the bite needed to be numbed and then lanced to drain it. Since the infection was so deep, Matt had to go several times to have the packing changed.
This is how it looked before his first doctor appointment.
It was very swollen...no after pictures because I couldn't even look at it.
After the third time, the doctor decided to leave the packing out and let the wound finish healing. He also received the test results back from the culture. The results confirmed that it was a brown recluse spider bite with traces of staff. I'm happy that it is healing and it wasn't any worse, but I'm very anxious for it to be over.
Of course Connor had a boo boo that required a bandage
The older Connor gets, the more he wants to be just like Matt...very sweet!
