When I picked him up from daycare this afternoon I caught a glimpse of his left index finger. It looked...wrong somehow. Like maybe he paint or food caked on it. When I actually looked it closely I realized that it wasn't food, it was pus. His poor little finger was seriously infected.
I had an infection by my fingernail and it was so painful. I felt awful for him. He has been so cranky and irritable for the past few days, and now we know why.
Luckily, as the doctor was cleaning his finger to drain the pus, it started draining on its own. So she didn't have to poke him. Hopefully this will take care or it or we will have to take him to see the finger specialist (yes, there is really a finger specialist, I double checked because I thought it was a joke at first).
Riley was a trooper through the whole thing. And he told the doctor that he finger felt much better. And that he likes yellow lollipops.
