Well, after my post last week things kept going downhill! Blake's rash just got worse and worse and he looked terrible. He had the crusty scabby patches all over his back and chest and then developed a fine sandpaper like rash between the big blotches that covered him pretty much from head to toe! We ended up at the Drs and after taking one look at it he declared that it was a bad eczema flare up with an infection on top of it! Poor little man was so itchy and so miserable! We have now been prescribed an antibiotic for the infection and a cortisone cream for the rash and I am to take him back on mon to see how he is going and decide if we need a referral to a skin specialist. I must admit that after two days of the treatment he is looking a lot better already. The bad patches are much less red and although he still feels terrible all over he is starting to look a bit clearer.
I also ended up going downhill! I had that major headache and it still hasn't really gone away yet. I went to the Drs and was told it was a sinus infection so I am on AB's too and it is slowly improving. I'm on my 8th or 9th day now with this headache but thankfully is is now at a tolerable level so I am just trying to ignore it!
As a result of being sick the house looks like a tip site! I have been unable to bend down and pick stuff up or hang washing out so I have sooooooo much catching up to do this weekend :( To top it off, I was supposed to be working my way through sorting this house out this weekend so we could get onto painting and patching the walls in preparation for putting it on the market! Now thanks to having been sick I guess that is postponed for another week! Grrr!!
On a more positive note I can report some good news :) Rod and Dana had their second bubby yesterday morning in Kalgoorlie! A beautiful little girl named Grace Lillian! Welcome to the world little girl and congratulations to Rod, Dana and big sister Caitlin! We can't wait to meet her and have a cuddle!!
