Drew's Infected Toe

Poor Drewbie.  Little guy's got an infected toe due to an ingrown nail on his big toe.  We're not quite sure how it happened, but about a week or so ago we noticed that his big toe was redder than the others.  Then we noticed that it looked like there was an infection, we so began cleaning it out with Hydrogen Peroxide and wrapping it in a band aide with some neosporane during the night time hours.  It wasn't getting any better, so I took him to the Pediatrician yesterday, we the doc confirmed that he has a bad ingrown nail.  He asked if it was causing him any pain, which is the funny (and good) thing...it hasn't at all.  You wouldn't even think that it bothers Drew.  The only time it does is when I push the cuticle back.  So the Dr prescribed some antibiotics and told us to soak his toe in some Epsom Salt.  Hopefully he'll be all cleared up in the next few days!
