SOOOOO SAD!!! :( :( :(

So Megan has this crazy rash on her face that can't seem to get 100 % better! It will start to get better and then just get bad again. I am in the middle of changing alot of things to see what is causing it....laundry detergent, my diet, (since I am nursing her) etc. It could also just be her skin, but I really think that there is something that is bringing it on because of how it just comes and goes so quickly. I also took her to the doctor yesterday and found out that the rash that she also has on her hands in infected with staph. So I am putting a steroid ointment on her hands that has really helped to improve the rash on her hands, and of course I can't use that same ointment on her face. Oh and she also has a double ear infection, much to my surprise! Anyway, so she woke up at 4 this morning wanting to eat. So I fed her and when I was putting her back to bed I noticed her face had a really dark shadow on her right cheek. I turned the light on and saw this (picture below). It broke my heart!!! So what I believe happened is she got her arm loose from her swaddle and was scratching her face because it was itching her.

This picture looks alot worse than it is now because she had blood all over that side of her face. So once I cleaned it up with a wet cottonball it looked alot better! It's still no pretty sight!

This is how she looked tonight...less than 24 hours later.

What a difference some medicine, covered hands and a nice fresh clean up can make! I am keeping socks on her hands all the time. If I take them off I stay right with her and don't take my eye off her because she'll start to scratch in an instant. She hates the socks being on her hands and is not happy about it! She is a much happier baby when they are off...but that doesn't last long because she starts to attack her face soon after they are off!
