If you are an avid reader of the blog, you know that Jayson just go over Thrush. It was the worst 14 days of medication ever. Trying to force feed nystatin to a wriggly, crying, kicking, screaming child has moved to the bottom of the list of things I'll sign myself up for in the future. God bless nurses. Your jobs must suck. Just saying.

Crazy Train
Time to derail the crazy train and catch y'all up to what's been going since the last time I posted.
I ended up taking Jayson to the doctor. He did have thrush. He was put on nystatin both orally and in cream form for 14 days. The cream made his diaper rash worse. We stopped using that right away and went with straight up cornstarch to clear up his diaper region. The oral nystatin continues to be a struggle we have to endure until this Wednesday. He's supposed to take it 4x a day. Yeah, joy of joys. Poor kid. He certainly knows how not to take medicine now. On the plus side the thrush appears to be gone.

Thrush
I am concerned Jayson may have thrush. He has had a diaper rash that has lasted a little over a week and the roof of his mouth looks milky. If you recall, I had antibiotics a few weeks back for tonsillitis. Now I'm worried that by being on them it has affected Jayson's "good" bacteria levels resulting in thrush.
