Mason and the Basketball Bite

Here's a picture of Mason's hand with the red line drawn to show the extent of infection. While out playing basketball with some neighborhood boys yesterday, another kid's teeth landed in his hand. He came inside, washed it, taped it and went right back out to play some more. This morning he woke up in pain, so John took him our pediatrician (she is wonderful!) and she drained the wound and gave him two huge shots in the legs. He is experiencing some soreness in his legs from the shots and having a hard time walking. He said "the shots were supposed to lessen the pain, not enhance it!" I'm so proud of how tough he is! Hopefully with the draining, shots and a round of antibiotics he will recover quickly! Poor Mas!
