Flight Museum and then ER visit

A couple of weeks ago, Max and I were able to visit the flight museum with Eirik and Skye. Max had a blast looking at all the airplanes. Every where we looked he would say airplane, airplane, airplane. He was so excited to see all the different kinds of airplanes. Some were small and some were very big. In the museum there was a kid area which Max loved because he was able to sit in an airplane and helicopter which was very cool.


After the museum we went to Max's doctor appointment which later turned into an ER visit instead. Max had a bug bite, I think it was at least and well it was disgusting and not pretty and he would not let anyone touch it. I took him to the doctors and later found out that it was infected and that I needed to take him to the ER right away before it got worst. So we went to Seattle Children's hospital and they all thought it was MRSA. They had to put him under and make a little cut inside his leg to get all the infection out. It was scary to see him all drugged up, but he was a trooper. He did not cry once. He never cried when they put the IV or took blood. All the nurses loved him. The whole thing took about 5 hours. Once the medicine started wearing off we were able to go home. Max couldn't walk straight, so I had to hold his hand or either carry him the rest of the day. I did find out later that it was not MRSA which the doctors were very surprised, but it was a very bad staff infection. Anyways, he is doing great and his leg has healed very well.
