The Friday before Valentine's Day I called the clinic and the nurse suggested straight vaseline for Gabriel's diaper rash. That wasn't working so Doug and I took him to the doctor and got prescription #2: "1:1:1 butt cream". I called the doctor back yesterday, though, because every where that I was putting the stuff (a wider path than the existing rash) was getting irritated. So, cure #3 is Bacitracin 4 times a day and A & D Ointment at every diaper change.
You can imagine that having a sore butt is making Gabriel a bit cranky. Keeping that in mind, the two of us decided to stay home instead of accompanying Doug on a road trip to Thief River Falls. I would have liked to go, but I didn't think Gabriel could handle 3 hours straight without being fed and held. That only works during long naps, which are completely unpredictable. So Gabriel and I are hanging out.
Our blog is about movies, photography, sports, faith, politics and grassroots issues, but typically about family, our three sons, work or our menagerie. Some people call the household "Doug's Ark", so take that for what it is...
Go, Vikings! The contributors to this blog are looking forward to the football strike ending and Christian Ponder becoming the franchise quarterback who beats the odds to lead the team to success. Go Christian! (Y'know, I really like the sound of that).
