Her inspiration you ask?
Never a dull moment with Miss Amber!!
On to our Brave Boy! So one night David says to me "Mom, my finger hurts. I hurt it in PE playing volleyball the other day. Look what happened". And he proceeded to show me his finger (as he innocently flipped me off) that looked rather infected. Possibly a hang nail gone bad or something similar, I thought. By morning the thing had doubled in size and his finger was red and swollen. So off to the doctor we went. It was some kind of staff infection!!! WHAT?!?!?! SERIOUSLY?!?!? Where in the world...? So the doc had to drain it. Yes, cringe! The doc told David "it will hurt but if I gave you a shot to numb the pain, that would hurt worse." So David needed that bullet to bite on ~ which wound up being my hand being squeezed to pieces. Man, he was SO brave!! Trying SO hard not to cry until I told him "it's okay to cry! This hurts!". Even the doctor told him to cry because he knew it hurt. The doctor had to take a sample and send it off to the lab to make sure it wasn't MERSA (which it wasn't) and get David on an antibiotic. So I took the brave boy to Starbuck's and got him a Venti Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and his favorite breakfast sandwich. I'd say he deserved it, don't you?

Poor guy. I had staff infection in my finger at one time. Lots of shots and medicines. Hope he is ok.
