Miles Away

This blog is dedicated to my wonderful son, Miles. Many of our friends and family don't live in Reno, so this is a virtual way to see how he's doing and how quickly he's growing.

We call him Sensi-Skin




So Miles has impetigo. For those of you who don't know (and most don't), it's a bacterial infection of the skin that causes scab-like outbreaks. Usually, a topical ointment can be applied to the sores, but advanced cases require internal antibiotics. Miles needed the latter.

He gets his sensitive skin from dear old dad, who also had impetigo when he was a kid. He's not in pain (or at least doesn't act like it), but the pictures show how awful it looks. I'll have better pictures after Halloween... stay tuned!
