well, well, well

From last kidlet update, both Tahlia and Jared ended are on antibiotics :( Things have been 100% perfect since, then this afternoon hit....

......just rushed Tahlia off to Dr's again, and we have one burst ear drum and one seriously infected other ear, chest infection and red throat. I am not kidding the little wonder was happy as anything all day, went off to sleep at 1.30, woke at 3pm, but not herself. Checked temp 37.8, gave panadol, checked temp 30mins later, 38.2, straight off to Dr for this little one. She only finished her course of AB on Sunday. Upped the dose slightly of AB's and must have another check in seven days. The Dr was pretty concerned about her ears.

I had a total melt down, couldn't stop crying for half an hour, and i'm not like that normally. Ian took her to the Dr's, as i just couldn't do it, he's such a champ. I am more comfortable knowing it's ears, at first i was panicking as she has absolutely no other symptoms (got big kids bathed early and dressed up warm in case we might be heading into hospital).

So Ian gets home with Tahlia, i realise all is semi ok, drops her off, and heads up to get her AB's and other drugs at the chemist. Jared complains about an itchy bottom, and on closer inspection is covered in some sort of huge raised lumpy rash all over his bottom and down his legs. I try and put on Dermaid being naive and directions say for itchiness, and he goes ballistic saying the cream makes it worse. So as Tahlia is screaming for each mouthful of food, i throw the shower on for Jared to jump in to get off the cream and give him a washer. That helped, he got back out of the shower, still these rash like welts all over him. All i could do at this stage was try and convince him not to scratch. Got him clean Pj's and he seemed to settle down. Ian gets home just as this has settled, and i show him straight away this intense rash Jared had, but would you believe, it had gone down to nothing more than a slight raised red rash, nothing like it was minutes ago. Very weird!!!!!

Night goes on, Tahlia eats everything plus for dinner, nothing stops her appetite obviously and I'm sure the drugs helped. Just as we are about to put Jarry to bed i feel him, and he's hot. Take temp 39.4. Panadol for him. He is comfortably asleep now, but he'll be off the Dr's tomorrow. I reakon it's his ear again, either way it has to be checked now.

I have a strong feeling, no it's not that, i will probably be seeing my ENT again.

So that's my afternoon!
