Last week was really hard for Eva. The antibiotics for her ear infection gave her diarrhea and an awful rash. It got so bad after a couple days that I took her back to the pediatrician. She said the ear infection had cleared up enough for her to stop taking the medicine. That night Eva's bottom was so raw she started crying when I tried to put cream on her, so I stripped her down to her birthday suit and set her on a blanket in front of the heater. She was fine until she peed on her tender skin, which really hurt and set her off again. I gave her an oatmeal bath, which helped to sooth her bottom and enable her to sleep. She actually KO'd on the changing table while I was putting on her pajamas, she was so exhausted. Thank goodness she’s starting to feel better. At least we were able to take her to visit Grandma Geri (Dave's Mom) while we sang Christmas Carols to the residents at Villa Del Rey with friends from church.
