The Woes of Parenthood

We are about to hop on a plane for a family vacation when I decide that it is probably a good idea to make sure that Ethan is well. Two weeks ago he had an ear infection and sore throat, and I wanted to make sure it was all cleared up. After all, his sleeping hasn't been too good. Not only that, after taking all the antibiotics he was left with a yeast infection in his "lower parts". The poor kid has been itchy for a week now, so that was another reason to have the doctor take a look.

Well, the diaper rash was indeed a yeast infection, but it is all over his bottom! I just thought it was bad diaper rash, and the front part was the yeast infection (he has had this before) And the ointment we've been using hasn't been working, so now we're using a prescription. As I was driving home from the doctor I was filled with an overwhelming sense of love for my son. I love him so much, and I can't stand when he isn't well! And such an annoying ailment, too! And right before a trip, to boot.

We have the worst luck, I think, since every time we take a trip Ethan either has a cold, an ear infection or both. Now he's got one bad case of jock itch!!!!
