spider bite

So Kase came to me and said "mom, my arm is really swollen"
and boy was it swollen! It was like he had grown another elbow!
Took him to Instacare and they think it's a spider bite...not sure what kind...maybe a Hobo?
Whatever it is, it's starting to get infected...so he is on some very strong antibiotics for a week...
however he says it doesn't really bother him...which I don't know HOW that is possible...it's huge and red and itchy looking...
he's a tough kid...
and I am going to pretend that the spider bite happened outside somewhere and hopefully
not in my house!
here is a picture w/my camera phone....
not sure if you can see it....that lump is NOT his elbow...
his elbow is underneath on the bottom...
the bite is 3.5 inches by 2 inches....
yuck!

Is he getting better? Everytime I see this pic on the Mom's Blog I still shiver for the poor kid.

My question is, do these spider neighbors pay HOA fees? Just curious. Perhaps you should send them a bill Michelle. ;)
