Rash

So four days after William began taking amoxicillin for an ear infection, he developed a rash under his chin and on his wrists. He also was running a low fever last night, so David finagled an appointment for him with one of the other pediatricians this afternoon.

The verdict: looks like a viral rash, nothing to be too worried about. We're to continue with the antibiotics for the ear infection and slather some moisturizing cream on the rash. And of course we may continue using the Miracle Drug that is infant Tylenol. (It really is a miracle too: William was screaming like a banshee in the exam room, turning bright tomato Willasaurus Rex red, and it took all three of us to hold him so the doctor could check his ears. Yet after a nice dose of Tylenol, he started saying "Ba" and grinning again.)

David keeps moaning that he'd just like his little son to stay healthy for more than a week at a time. I'm a little more philosophical about it: babies get sick. You take care of them, but they do get sick. Hopefully this rash will clear up quickly.

Well, gotta run. Something just woke William up from his nap, and man, he is Not Happy. Later.
