10 days of Amoxicillin did wonders. The baby’s thigh is soft, and there is a brown mark where the red once was. She still has loose stools, but they have more consistancy. Her bottom is no longer sore. Given that many of these wounds end up having MRSA (methicillin resistant staph aureus), we have much to be thankful for.
Her follow-up appointment with the pediatrician is today. Bruce will have to take her alone because I’m working.
