Who sent the sickies here?
Well, Zoe woke up this morning with her eyes crusted shut, AJ’s got a cough and cold, I’ve got a sinus infection. I’m on an antibiotic. They gave me a script for ointment for Z’s eyes, but none of the pharmacies have it. One guy told me it was on back order a lot lately, finally CVS found out that’s because they stopped manufacturing it. So, tomorrow morning I have to call the doctor’s office and find out what they’ll call in to replace it. It’s not pink eye—but in another day or two it would be.
She’s also got a yeast infection in the diaper region. I’ve been using miconazole cream on her all weekend. They say she’ll need it for another 5 days to be sure it’s really gone. Between her two infections, I’m ooked out about touching her and do the super scrub on my hands after every change. I just hope we avoid a systemic antibiotic for her—that would only make the yeast infection worse—which is why they didn’t prescribe that now. Hopefully her cold will stay just a cold so we don’t need more antibiotic than drops or ointment for her eyes!
