Spiiiduuurr ... Biite.... Legg... Huuurrt!



I thought that Jules has a spider bite and had irritated it by scratching and what not. Well, the bite grew and then there were other little red marks on her little legs that I couldn't figure out. By Sunday night, when I threw the kids in the bath, the swelling had grown so it looked like a golf ball was hidden inside her thigh. So Kevin took her to the hospital.

Turns out she has a serious Staff infection that entered her body when she go her immunizations. She's on severe antibiotics for the next 2 weeks. They are NASTY and she hates taking them: one she can handle, the other we have to disguise.

Poor girl...

How sad! At least she won't be getting measles, mumps, or rubella anytime soon. :)

She's so good at pointing out who really did it. She'll probably be pointing at lots of spiders and saying,"NNOOOO Biite Spiiduuurr, NNOOOO!"

Poor Julia. I hope she's getting better now. My brother Lee has had a bad infection on his back like that. He said it's about the size of a baseball. I hope it's not catching!
