The other day Zara complained of a sore under her arm. We tried different creams to deal with it but to no avail. Today she went to the doctor and he confirmed it was a boil or abscess. It needed to be lanced and then she needed a course of antibiotics to take care of any infection. Zara was already worried about going to the Doctor as that was her fear, the injection and the knife.
The Doctor was sensitive to this and gave her some medicine to make her go off to sleep but, as in the past, it didn't work too well as she tend to fight it. The Doctor gave up on that and told her he would do it under local. J and Z, in recent years, have been apprehensive about needles (Understatement :)) however, thankfully she managed it and she is now home with a dressing under her arm. Tomorrow she needs to go back for the dressing to be changed and then hopefully that will be the end of it.
I was teaching this morning so Simon took her at 7:30am to have it looked at as he had a later flight. However, it took longer than he thought. Fortunately, one of the other pilots took his flight so he didn't have to rush back. We are thankful for a helpful team here in MAF Uganda.
