Found a tick!
On my DS. STINKS! He was attached to him (behind his ear). Found it this morning even after a bath I never noticed. 
No blood or anything get stuck in and Ped said to keep an eye on it. We washed the area then put on some ointment and checked the rest of his body and my other DS.
Ugh! Just have to see if there's a rash or fever is what the Ped said.

Found a tick!
DS had 2 over the weekend. We were camping so he had spray on him but those suckers didn't care. He is due for a blood test so the ped said to add Lyme to the test but wait 7 days for the test. Of course if the bulls eye rash appears we will go right in to the ped.
When I called Mon around 10 they had already had 3 calls on ticks! It's going to be a long summer.

Re: Found a tick!
My little one had one in his hair/on his head Saturday night. I swear, it was there one minute and not before. My sister pulled it out and we don't think he got bit, but we are doing the same. Just watching for signs of fever or redness in the area.
