Poor Talan's diaper rash got much worse before it got better. In fact, it got so bad that I finally gave in and took him into the doctor. I was trying to wait it out because our deductible started over on the first of the year and I hate to pay a couple hundred dollars for her to tell me that it is "just a diaper rash". On the other hand, I wasn't going to let him suffer any longer and finally just needed to hear "it's just a diaper rash".
Before going in I decided to let him air it out. Baby, it's cold outside, therefore I was only able to let him "hang out" for a short time. He enjoyed his lunch....mac-n-cheese.....with no pants!
Turns out that his infection was worse than a typical diaper rash. I can't tell you what it was because to describe it I'd have to use one of my "yeast" favorite words. (Okay, there...I said it). For just $300 you too can drive to your doctor's office to sit and wait for 20 minutes for her to tell you to go to the nearest drugstore for an over-the-counter ointment. Oy vey. The good news? We lubed him up last night and by this morning it was gone.
Today we've had snow on-and-off all day. I thought for sure that they would cancel school but I was wrong. When Reese got home I had a fun snack waiting for her. We made S'mores.
