Don't worry. He'll be fine. Thankfully, Avery saw the giant welt with the even more giant ring around it on Thursday and we went to the doctor and was put on a month of antibiotics. Here are some alarming things about Lyme disease: it affects your nervous system. That can't be good. Sometimes the antibiotics don't work and sometimes the antibiotics can make you really sick. Delightful. Here's the good news (I know some of you are actually wondering this)...you can't spread the disease. Well unless of course you turn into a deer tick and then bite someone else. I tried to take a picture of the welt so you could all see what it looks like but I waited to long and now it is faded. Apparently he had a textbook welt. The doctor hadn't seen one in awhile and was a little too excited about it.
So he is a little tired and sore, but it sounds like he will live.
