So today we yet another doctor's appointment. We have been battling thrush (fungal yeast infection) in Elena's mouth and bottom (type of rash) for about 6 weeks. Last week at our check up the rash also tested positive for strep A so she has been on antibiotics too. I don't want to dwell on the rough stuff, but I am so happy that the thrush is no longer in her mouth--wahoo! I have been on a strict diet of high protein (meat, eggs, occasional nuts), low carb veggies, and soy yogurt. Let me tell you this diet gets old very fast. The diet is supposed to starve the yeast so it can't reproduce. Today the doctor said since it isn't having an impact on her butt rash I could go back to eating my regular diet....ahh to have grains, fruit, and sugar again. That is the best birthday present. However, we will be visiting a dermatologist in a few weeks to determine why her rash isn't healing.
And you are not going to believe this, but Elena gained 13 ounces in the past week! She is now 10 weeks and 13 pounds, what a whopper!! If only I was loosing the weight she is gaining ;)
Well, we had a very busy day...walked a couple of hours at the bay with a friend, the doctor's appointment, and happy hour with Carl's division...we are tired so it is off to bed for us. We hope you have a great weekend!
