School sores? February 12, 2008

Dylan was supposed to go to childcare today but before going this morning JP booked him a doctors appointment and decided to go in to work late so he could take him.  I didn’t want to take him because I’m embarrassed that I seem to be taking him to the doctor almost every week now.  Well I have to admit that my husband was right for ONCE! 

I decided I would also go this morning and it seems the little red marks all over Dylan’s face are not mosquito bites like we initially thought.  They are school sores or ‘impetigo’ so not only is Dylan still recovering from the cold he caught 2 weeks ago at childcare (he has a nasty lingering cough) but since starting he has now developed school sores which are a skin infection.  He has been prescribed a course of antibiotics and I’m keeping him home today because they are apparently contagious.  What a great start!  They are common in children that start school so needless to say we are not impressed! 

This morning we also went to have a look at a hall to hire for Dylan’s birthday.  It was quite nice so it looks like we might go with that idea and then hire a catering company for food.  Its a little over a month to go so we are really pushing it for time so we will have to make a decision soon.
