Nick went back to the ped for his staph infection.
It isn't getting better, so the nurse practitioner decided to just try a stronger cream, because our normal ped is too busy to see Nick, and she doesn't think it looks like it is getting worse just not getting any better.
So now we have more cream to use, and I also have to lotion his bottom every change. Apparently I am keeping him too dry that is why he scratches his behind all the time. Looks fine to me I think it is just Nick going crazy scratching his crack. His skin does not at all seem dry. Alex, my husband, is starting to feel better I finally got his fever down, and his doctor promised a note for work saying that he had the swine flu, apparently in NY he can't loose his job because he has the flu as long as it is confirmed. A week of no pay is better than no job.
Tony, my cousin, is just getting the swine flu I think but he has no insurance, so he will be under my care only.
If people in my home don't stop getting sick I am going to go crazy. I have laundry and dishes pilled up everywhere, and I can't make enough trips to the store for soups.
And the therapists just don't ever give us a break. |
