difficult child didn't go to the emergency room last night but he did get the doctor to take him in this morning. He ended up losing a day of work but he has a written note from the Dr. so I think it will be OK. Anyway, it sounds like a boil to me too. Doctor lanced it and gave him an antibiotic. They sent in a culture so he is to go back to the Dr. on Monday to hear the results and they will know, supposedly, exactly what to prescribe. Here's hoping it all works out OK.
I tried to call the place where he took the drivers class but there will be nobody in the office until Monday so I have that to look forward to. Oh, joy.
Thanks for all of the concern.
