What a huge bummer!

We found the tick this morning. It must've gotten him in the middle of the night because we didn't notice it after bath time last night. Bite site looks raw and red and open.

Also, the tick burst when husband pulled it off. We doused the area with rubbing alcohol and have neosporin on it right now under a bandaid.

I've already made an appointment with my LLMD.

Sheesh.

I'll keep you in my thoughts that it will be o.k..

Did you keep the tick for testing? It probably wouldn't hurt to puy him on n abx right away just to cover him.

Please let us know what the LLMD says. Lots of love and good energy sent your way. It's especially scary when it comes to our children.

Give him a hug for me. One for you too.

Love & Light,

Thanks, you two.

Yep, we kept what's left of the tick... the hard shell part, the back, if you will.

I'll be bringing that with me also.
