Back from the Doctors

We had to get up and out early this morning, which was a bit of a shock to all our systems after the long lazy days of Summer hols we've been enjoying!! But we managed to get there on time and dressed, not still in pyjamas lol.

Little Prince's tummy bug seems to be completely better, he had his toast and milk for breakfast, with no problems, and feels tonnes better. He has come out in a rash this morning, so while we were at the doctors we got him to check it out. The doctor checked the rash, listened to Little Prince's heart and breathing, checked his ears and throat and his glands. He said there is slight redness in Little Prince's throat and put that and the rash down to probable mild viral infection. We are to give him Calpol if he needs it and make sure he drinks plenty of fluids. We were also there to get the results of the ultrasound scan Little Prince had last week - which showed that everything (kidneys and urinary tract) looks normal with no problems. I'd forgotten that Little Prince had provided a urine sample for testing too, but luckily the doctor hadn't and informed us that was all normal :-) We've another appointment in mid September to see a specialist, so the doctor said we should just wait and see what the specialist says before trying anything else.

Drama Teen also had an appointment as she had an infection in one of her nail beds that has now spread to other fingers and doesn't seem to respond to antibiotic cream. She now has an anti-fungal cream to try for a week, and if it hasn't cleared up by then we are to take her back and she'll be given tablets. Hopefully the cream will sort it out as she is finding it very embarrassing having red and swollen fingers and its quite painful too - she is more concerned with their appearance than the pain though!!
