I'm extremely vigilant about these infections as Christian is also prone to MRSA. Whenever I see an abscess, I drain it myself, and keep it and the area surrounding it as clean as possible. Unfortunately, by the time John and I saw it, it was hugely infected. John drained as much as he could, but there was still a section that was hard.

John mentioned to Dr. Z that Christian has become increasingly stubborn with medication. Dr. Z told John that there was a shot that could be given, but it's not as effective as the oral medication. We were given the green light to mix it with whatever was available.

We have mixed it with apple juice, gatorade, yogurt, yogurt drinks, chocolate milk mixed with extra-extra-extra chocolate. He could tell it was "contaminated" with the first minuscule sip.

I don't know what to do anymore. I looked at the infection and there isn't any swelling whatsoever. However, I'll call Dr. Z tomorrow and ask for some recommendation.

I would also like to say that we have confirmation of the "terrible twos". My sweet little angel turns into a monstrous demon within seconds.
