Butts and Tonsils

A couple weeks ago Chase got a rash on his bottom around the edge of his diaper. He could pull his shorts up and scratch it. We tried but by July1st when we went to KC to get the photos done it was evident that it was getting infected. So the next day, Friday, we went to the doctor. Staff infection, maybe MRSA. So baths 2-3 times a day, creme, and antibiotics for 10 days - oh and keep it open and get the stuff out. I am so glad Alisha warned me that it would be super gross (Dylan had it a couple years ago). Shannon soon got the squeeze job - it was so gross and hurt him so badly. It swelled out like you wouldn't believe but by mid week seemed to be going away. Then Friday a week later he woke up with it oozing again. Not a good sign and we only had a couple days of meds left so off we went to the pediatrician again. She lanced it and 7 more days of meds. It is now completely healed I think and we only have a couple days of meds left.

Wednesday this week Callie had her tonsils out. She is such a trooper. The only time she had trouble was after we were in the operating room and then she got scared and we had to hold her down to put her to sleep - she even tried not to breathe so she wouldn't breathe the gas in to go to sleep. She was great in recovery and when we got home that day, Thursday was rough as she got sick three times, today has been much better so hopefully we are on the mend. I am off until Monday but then Kelsey, Shannon, and some days Mom will be here.
