There we were parents of a one year old in the ER with a huge tick in our kids head. I felt like the biggest looser of a mom for not looking closer at the "scab"
earlier, but Jeff pointed out he hadn't noticed it either which made me feel much better. Luckily the ER was totally dead we were the only patients there. It was nice to be taken right back to an exam room and have it looked at. They did quick vitals and the doctor was with us right away.

The doctor took one look at Bay's head put on some gloves, yanked the tick out (along with like 10 of Bay's hairs)and that was it. It took about 5 seconds and it was over. Bay didn't even flinch. Ahhh relief was finally ours. The nurses gave Bay a cute bear stuffed animal as the doctor talked with us for a min, after which and we were discharged and on our way. It turns out I guess these ugly guys are very common this time of year and super easy to remove, and are not the kind that carry diseases. We are pretty sure it came from Murphy so I guess no more playing with him anymore. Hopefully we don't have to deal with anything like that again...I am just grateful that it was not as big of a deal as we thought it may be. Little Bay is fine and is as good as new, and as his parents we are now just paranoid that we have ticks somewhere hiding on us. Don't even ask how many times i made Jeff check my hair for me(nice thing is he doesn't seem to mind that much)...

Okay ... that is seriously GROSS!!! I am so glad Bay is okay and it was that easy to get rid of! Totally GROSS!!!~!!
Ewwww sick! Glad you got it taken care of and that Bay was so good.
Okay that is just horribly disturbing. We clicked on the picture and it filled the screen and we could see the legs and etc. My head itches!
Two words: heebie jeebies!
