Double Bubble Boil and.....Thrush?

Yes, thrush. That overgrowth of yeast in the body that causes baby to look like a mini mad dog because of all the white stuff around and in his mouth. We figured it out yesterday (and I think it's only been going on a day or two), and got him a prescription last night. The doctor's office was kind enough to call it in. I guess they've seen us so much in the past few weeks, they figured they've squeezed enough money out us for the month of May.

In addition to the scrip, we also have to boil all nipples and pacifiers. That was some odd lookin' soup cookin' on the countertop last night. And just for reference...plastic gets really really hot when it's boiled for 5 minutes, so don't touch it or else your hand will be visiting the ice in the freezer. They will all continue getting boiled every night until this yeast-stuff is gone, which could take several days. We have to swab Kelton's mouth with 2mL's of the medicine three times a day. So, I sat in the kitchen this morning with him on my lap and it took me about 15 minutes to get it all in there. He managed to bite me with the itty bitty bit of tooth he has popping through his gums. That hurt!! For such a little guy with such a little tooth, that sucker has some defenses on him! If anyone breaks in the house, I'll just say "Sick 'em, Baby!" I'm just kidding! He'll have his mamabear to protect him. (and daddybear, of course!)

Hubby has seen me get my feathers ruffled before. Occasionally he brings it up because he was ready to sit back and watch me "put a whoopin' on that girl". Don't get me wrong...I'm not one of those women who flies off the handle and goes picking fights here and there. But when my patience and kindness (*flutters eyelids*) have been pushed to the limits, sometimes I'd really like to smack some courtesy into folks. Either that, or ram them with my truck until their vehicle is disabled. Remember "Fried Green Tomatoes"? TO WANDA!!!! On those days when I'm shy on sleep and high on hormones, Hubby is glad he hasn't installed that air horn on my vehicle that I want so badly. He's afraid he'll have to install bullet proof glass as well. Personally, I don't see any problems with that set-up. Do you?
