The $25 Mosquito!

Who knew this little pest could be so expensive?

When I woke Quinton up this morning, I noticed a little bump on his forehead. It looked kind of like he'd bonked his head and had a lingering bump, so I didn't think too much of it.

We went about our day and by the time bath time rolled around, I noticed Quinton's bump had quadrupled in size. It was now quite a hard big bump on his head and I became really worried that he'd hit his head, yesterday, and he was experiencing cranially swelling!

So I called his Pediatrician's office and they were able to see us about 20 minutes later.

Diangnosis:

Mosquito Bite

Co-Pay for a 2-second glance at Quinton's head by a nice doctor:

$25

Peace of mind that there was no inner cranial swelling:

Priceless

You can kind of see the bump on the left side of the picture above his eyebrow.

I have to say that Quinton was pretty excited about the sticker he picked out at the doctor's office.

Thankfully, the doctor didn't act like I was a crazed first-time mother. He actually agreed that with a bump that big on his head, it's a good idea to have it checked out, even if it turns out to be a mosquito bite. That made me feel better about the co-pay.
