Broken Bones, Burns, & Poison Oak!

We're hopeful that today ends 7 days of bad luck! Started last Wednesday when Mike busted his hand up at work - got it caught in a projector! Fortunately - he only fractured one finger in a few places and just was swollen and badly bruised. Also - it was his left hand, and he's right handed.

Sunday night, at the bonfire, Mike reached down to grab a piece of wood off the fire that he didn't think was hot.... he was wrong!! Burned his right hand and blistered immediately in three spots!

Last night, Devin was sitting on the couch and started itching funny. By this morning - his face and eye was swollen and he was covered in poison oak: cheek, eye, around his mouth, by his nose, his ear, his neck, and now even down his right arm! Now.... if you remember correctly, Devin is horribly allergic to poison oak and has twice gotten cellulitis as a result of it, once even had streptococcal cellulitis. So... off to the doctor we went today. After a round of steroids, oral steroids, topical steroids, and an antibiotic for good measure... he should be ok. Until then, he's home from school until at least Monday!

So... think happy thoughts for us that this is all over! Mike and I get the weekend to ourself... we hope! We already had to give up a trip to Savannah to see old friends and meet a new one. We'd like to at least be able to spend the weekend alone without any sick, itchy, contagious kids LOL!
