About a week after we got home from our Mexico cruise Liam got a weird rash blister thing on his finger. Our pediatrician was out of the office so we say a different one. She of coarse asked if we'd been out of the country so I told her about our trip and all that we had done. She decided she though Liam could have rabies from one of the animals at the zoo that we went to in Ensenada. She reached out to the CDC and told me some scenarios that none of them were good. She had me completely panicked. Matt was able to reach out to the zoo and our tour guide to find out that all the animals at the zoo were vaccinated and healthy. As we waited for answers it felt like months to get that info. But as the panic sat and I continued to watch Liam it looked like herpes to me. I took him to see Dr Tanner and he agreed so I called the pediatricians office and sent picture and we were able to pivoted and changed to an antiviral that covered the herpes. Shortly after he turned the corner and was feeling more and more like himself. Its so hard to see your kids sick and when Drs dont help its even worse. I will never take my kids to see that Dr again.
