There was a standing joke for awhile at the Urgent Care in Wisconsin with the Dr. there that we should just make a standing appointment for our Christmas visit. We have been able to avoid those the past couple of years and had been able to avoid urgent care visits here altogether. That streak ended with Madi slicing her foot open on a piece of metal when she was playing one night. At first it looked like it should be okay but then we really felt like we needed to take her in. Her foot was infected and she needed antibiotics. Her friend ended up at Urgent Care with her with the same injury - opposite foot. They teased that together they made a set of two capable feet.
After getting some antibiotics we went about the rest of our day which included a visit to Aunt Sue & Uncle Genes. These kiddos must have played hard in the pool because about 15 minutes into our ride home this is what I found in the back seat.
Unfortunately Madi's foot ended up worse the next day. Lucky for us... Drew's best friend Ethan's mom was able to get her all taken care of and change antibiotics late that night. Thanks Ms. Amy!!!! Another trip to our pediatrician the next day confirmed the change of antibiotics and confirmed that healing had started.
She was finally on the road to recovery!
Needless to say, Drew broke his streak the next week by ending up with strep throat the day after school got out. Needless to say, we revisited the Urgent Care for a second time. Let's hope this isn't a start of a pattern.
