He's a hero. |
Lol, I really wish he'd let me take pictures. Maybe when he's drugged up, lol. Can't see fangs, can see where the fangs punctured.
Not how I wrote that up, lol. The knuckle of the thumb is, well actually the entire thumb is fat and swollen, it's so swollen there isn't any wrinkles in the knuckle, just the two marks with a white ring around them. It looks like a vampire got a hold of his finger, lol. Anyway, it looks really bizarre, and painful, yes, but kinda freaky too. Sorry, poor baby, maybe I am treated him like some type of experiment/project, lol. But if so at least I'm trying to do solid science by documentation!!
The swelling looks a lot better when I cleaned it tonight. Still obviously swollen, but now recognizable as his thumb. Still this horrible, angry red. Looks like he stuck his thumb and the bottom half of his hand in boiling water. He's been sleeping a lot today, and less cranky so I really think the new cream and pain meds are working better.
Also, you think I'm fascinated. Jacob was enthralled, wanted to know if his dad would come to school for show and tell on Friday, lol!
