need a little p&pt - for Emerald


Emeraldsmom wrote: Well last Sunday Emi got a fever. It was really low though so I did not take her to the doc because it seems like every time I take her it is just a virus and they say it has to run it's course. She had a fever on and off until Thurs. But she was not eating very much and very cranky. Then on Friday she got diarrhea. On sat she broke out w/a rash all over her body, and she has a diaper rash from going to the bathroom so much. So I took her to the doc. Well it's just a virus. They said to give her just liquids for a couple of days to let her stomach settle. I feel so bad because she keeps going the the bathroom and her diaper rash is really bothering her. I am using A&D ointment like the doc said. Everytime I have to wipe her she screams, so what dh and I have been doing, is everytime she goes we put her in the shower or bath instead. Also I put a blanket down in her playpen and letting her go w/out a diaper as much as possible. I feel so bad for her, I can tell she doesn't feel good. To make even worse, her 1st Birthday is on Tuesday. bawling.gif bawling.gif I hope she is better by then. We are not having her party until Sunday, but I would hate for her to be sick on the day she turns 1. If you would all keep her in your thoughts we would appreciate it. Thanks everyone.

Jamison'smama replied: She is absolutely in my thoughts!

A suggestion for the rash--my doctor recommends Aquaphor mixed with liquid Mylanta (yes the antacid), the Mylanta cools the burn of the rash and the Aquaphor just has so many healing properties and is a great barrier. It really works well for those kinds of rashes!

Hugs

My2Beauties replied: sad.gif Poor Emerald - I am sorry! Isn't diaper rash the worst. Sounds like the same virus Hanna had a while back - it went away within a week or so. I'm so sorry - my P&PT's are with her and mommy and daddy sad.gif Poor baby, they are so pitiful when they are sick! Hanna had a cold on her first b'day too sad.gif

punkeemunkee'smom replied: Poor baby! I have heard that works! Also you can put corn starch in a skillet and brown it,that removes all the moisture,and since it seeks moisture,if you sprinkle it on baby's bottom it will absorb all the moisture out of the rash and dry it up! Tay was very sensitive to all the over the counter ointments so we used that alot!

ediep replied: awww, poor baby!! Hope she is better soon

ABout the diaper rash.....I think desitin works better than A&D.. I used a huge glob at every diaper change whenever Jason had a rash, it cleared up in a day

does she like saltine crackers? They help to bind up the system a bit too

mammag replied: Poor little thing! Definitely in my prayers and thoughts. hug.gif

SOUTHERN MOMMY replied: Please noone laugh But, there is something called Butt-paste ask your pharmicist about it it works so well once you put it on nothing will touch the skin for a long time. It was a life saver for us.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
I love Boudreaux's Butt-Paste. It works like a charm every time Logan gets a rash. You can get it over the counter, in the same place as all the other rash creams. It is a bit expensive, but so worth it. Also, the aquaphor and mylanta thing sounds like a great idea. Sounds like you are doing all you can, I do a bum wash in the sink instead of wipes when my guy gets a bad one and naked time is best. Also, if you can expose her hiney to sunlight, that seems to help too. Through the windows works. Good luck to you and hugs to Emerald. hug.gif

Emeraldsmom replied: Thanks everyone for your prayers and suggestions. I am going to try some of them. She is not getting any better. I called the doc and she said to just keep doing what I am doing. bawling.gif It breaks my heart that she will be sick tomorrow on her birthday.

AshleyRose replied: Hope sweet Emerald is feeling better today...

Sorry she got sick sad.gif
