A little boy from the area known well to our family came to us with this problem:notice how swollen the right side of his bum is. We discovered that he had cellulitis, and he spent 3 days with us on IV meds to fight this infection. This infection likely started due to a bug bite that got infected. The fever is now gone and he was able to go home this afternoon, though he will be returning every morning for a few days to ensure the medication is working, and to recieve a new dose.
