Well Laine has really given us a run for our money this past couple weeks. She has been to the dr. 3 times in the past 2 weeks and two of the visits were for sicknesses. She started with that rash, which the dr. diagnosed as a yeast infection (which is really uncommon for those to just come up randomly), then she had an ear infection and was prescribed Amoxicillan. We got some ointment for the rash and went on our way. Well about a week past and she was still tugging at her ear, but the rash slowly vanished. THEN last night she was up ALL night very irritable and fussy. I noticed the rash had come back in full effect and she was so upset. She was still pulling at her ear, but never ran a fever.
After much deliberation I decided to take a half day today and get her to the dr. as soon as possible. I felt like if I had a sick baby, I am her mommy and needed to be the one to take care of her. We went to the dr. at 2:00 and saw the nurse practioner. She decided to take a rectal strep test and it came back POSITIVE!! Dr. Nash had taken a vaginal strep test and it had been negative, so she assumed it wasn't strep. When the nurse came in I asked why the dr. hadn't taken the rectal strep test and she said that not all people know that there is such a thing. Well, she is just any person..she's a DOCTOR!! Anyway, we got some different antibiotics and hopefully she is well in a couple of days!!
On a lighter note..we are taking her to Gymboree with Carlie and Avery tomorrow, so hopefully she has a good time!
June!

Oh no, Caroline had yeast at one point and it was awful to get rid of. I am glad that you finally figured out what is going on. Hopefully she will feel better soon. She is getting so big and cute. I would love to see her in person.
