Andy got an infected hair follicle a few weeks back that got pretty serious in a matter of 24 hours. He had to go the ER, get IV antibiotics and get it drained in the middle of the night since it just kept getting bigger and was extremely painful. None of the OTC painkillers would even touch the pain. It was a pretty painful experience for him and one that reminds us how grateful we are to live in a time of modern medicine with access to healthcare quickly. After his ER visit, he had to continue to help the wound drain and put antibiotic cream on it for about a week after. All is well now, but the shape of his nostril seems to have been permanently altered a little bit :). We are also grateful for home teachers who were able to help give him a priesthood blessing on such short notice and help him get on the path to recovery even quicker.
