Bloody boils -- please help

My 3.5 year old fell over at child care about 6 weeks ago, and grazed his knee, a few days later it turned into a boil. 4 lots of antibiotics later it still won't heal!!
He's been off his food, grizzly, having the odd day of temperatures and the odd vomit, he keeps getting swollen lymph nodes in his groin, he was completely toilet trained but he's wet the bed a few times, just in such a deep sleep I think

I've been nursing a long time and I've  seen plenty of boils, but not one in the same spot that keeps popping up for several weeks straight

Any ideas anyone ?

I've tried pentavite vitamins
And I've just resorted to sustagen so he's at least getting some nutrients

Anyone else had the same problem ??

I hate flying!

Wow, I really hate flying !!!
 
We were off to my brothers wedding, since its a three day drive from his house , I reluctantly decided to fly, it's only 500 Km's to the airport about 4.5 hrs drive if the kids don't play up too much.
We almost always get a few Kms down the road and one of them decides to poo!!

Anyway off we go, we arrive in Alice Springs, do some shopping, have the mandatory feed of MacDonald's
and take my Daughter to the ENT to check her ears - still a mild hearing loss.

having been up since 0430 we are already tired and the kids are cranky!. we wake up early on Sunday morning having had a horrible night in the motel as the air con didn't work properly and it was too hot and my Daughter grizzled on and off all night with a??mild ear ache or ?? teething

As we go to the airport i swallow a bunch of my air sick pills in hopes they work!



it was a Quantas link flight so no in air entertainment :(
I felt miserable and the kids wanted to run up and down the isles!
Then the landing into Brisbane was rough due to the weather , we had to bank around and the planes engines kept speeding up and slowing down until i was convinced we were going to crash!

after a torturous landing i was finally on safe ground.
Then we had to find the hire car and get ourselves of to dads house , but not after we discover one of our bags had been lost !! it was one with the toiletries in it too

after an eventful week of dress and shoe shopping, as well as eating every take out and junk food available, we were up at 6.30,  we packed up, we had to buy another suitcase to get back on the plane !! we had brought all the kids winter clothes lol.
I swolled a bunch of air sick pills and gritted my teeth as i got back on the plane!
This time there was in air entertainment and i watched life of PI in between trying to ignore the fact i was on a plane and dealing with two restless kids
about 30 mins prior to landing both kids pitched a fit and about 15 mins prior to landing they were fast asleep - un bloody believable!!  We were desperately trying to shush them so the other passengers didn't get upset it was horrible !

Finally we land - bundle everyone and everything off the plane
race off to woolies, grab a few bits and pieces and start the 4.5 hour journey home finally arriving home just before 7 pm .

A 10 hr round trip for a 45 min appointment !!!



Living remotely has its perks ! medical care is not one of them.
No offence to the serives provided - I myself am a nurse and the care that can be provided in a small town is often great. its the extra requirements not so much

Well after a 5 hr drive and getting up at 4 am - we made it to Alice springs , We took Temperance to the ENT , still has slight hearing loss( we know that!) one pink ear and no we won't give her grommets come back for a review in 4 months time !! - all of which took about 45 min
Well a night at a hotel and some nice food, a bit of shopping and another 5 hour trip home
About$400 in petrol
$180 for hotel room
Plus food and shopping, which we always buy more than we need lol, can't pass up all the specials !

One of the many challenges of living in the bush
