I noticed it on Friday after school. It was red, puffy & warm. I didn't waste any time, deciding to call CHOP directly to speak with a nurse in ENT. She called me back later and prescribed yet another antibiotic. *cringe* It was nice just to describe the problem over the phone and have them know what I was talking about, skipping the middle man (the pediatrician). I guess it also happened once in March and once in February, so I knew what was coming. Today the skin over the scar was paper thin and almost see through. It looks like it has opened up in this picture, but it has not yet. That's how thin his skin is there.
Surgery is currently scheduled for June 20, to remove this mess again. Hopefully it won't erupt again in May and June. But we haven't been that lucky so far, three months in a row...
On a positive note, we have a potty-trained boy on our hands! He was finally ready, and it has not been a struggle this week! I'm just hoping that the antibiotics don't mess with his little system and make him regress to diapers. He won't eat yogurt for us, so we've been feeding him lots of frozen yogurt. He's not complaining!!

Smoothies ares a great way to sneak in more yogurt.
Good luck with the antibiotics - I hope they don't mess with his system too much! Those Go-Gurts are great, too - freeze them and use them like popsicles.
poor honey. frozen gogurts are awesome! YAY (and congrats) for the potty trained little man! I'm working on that this week since Aiden is on Spring Break and today - three tinkles in the potty and two in the pants! I was SO excited!
Oy, not what you needed -- I hope it gets fixed for good this time. Congrats on potty training! Ben's at the point where he's gotten bored with potty success, and so he's regressing and not remembering to go when he's busy playing -- so we're seeing an uptick in accidents. We've found that constant nagging actually works with him. And we're nowhere near night-training yet -- we still wake up with a full pull-up. Well, this too shall pass. They don't go to college in diapers.
