Good news!!!
What a difference 12 hrs makes! Nathan had his first dose of oral abx last night and also the first dose of the bactroban ointment after a really warm bath. The little pitted area opened up last night and a tiny bit of clearish fluid came out. We traced the abcess and the cellulitis areas and then went to bed. This morning, the cellulitis is about 1/2 what it was and there was oozy drainage in his diaper!!! I was AMAZED at how much better it looks! TG since this means we will most likely NOT have to go in now!! I squeezed it and got 2 times where stuff drained out, so I think he is going to be just fine! I am SO relieved! Thanks to everyone who was thinking of us!!!
