We returned this week for Rosie's 10 day re-check. She told me on Wednesday that she could hear again out of her left ear so I guessed things were healing well and I was correct, to a point! Her medications were all finished and she wasn't complaining of any pain so I thought for sure we were done. It took the doctor all of 2 seconds to examine her ear, see where the tear had been and announce that both ears are still full of fluid. Urghh. She is hoping that it is healing and this is part of the ongoing process however....blah blah blah and no swimming for another 10 days.
I then bought up the fact that the "skank" on Rosie's body hadn't completely gone. It was much better but still there. Another look, another scrape. Rosie is completely unfazed at this stage in her life with whatever doctors do to her. Gone are the days of screaming whilst being restrained for an Echo or EKG thank goodness. Even shots are fine. So the scrape took only a couple of seconds and the results came back quickly.
IT'S NOT RINGWORM. Those were words I was very happy to hear. What is it? Well that's a bit of a mystery. This Dr. who is our regular ped' thinks it is 2 different things, not all the same so we now have 2 different treatments for them and yet again things appear to be moving along but it hasn't gone and by tomorrow if there isn't a really significant change we have to go back again.
Skanky, not really a word I like to associate to my children so she just better hurry up and shake it!
Even the Dr. mentioned she was surprised that I hadn't boiled her in bleach by now......who knew I was so transparent?
So here we are waiting to go back again, once for the fluid in her ears and once more for the skank. Sigh!

Hopefully they'll figure it out soon!
PS I did laugh over the post title & the "boiling in bleach"!!!
Hi I'm finally up to date. Do you want me to bring you some worming tablets or something, we have loads of these things.
Hope it goes soon.
Love Andie
Sorry to hear Rosie's not been well. Ruby has middle ear infections and fluid often. Just woke up last week bleeding from her ear which always scares the bejeezers out of me! A few days on Offloxin (antibiotic ear drops) does the trick and she is back to normal. We plug her ears up for hair washes and pool and that help. Did your doc ever think of doing ear tubes? Very quick 10 minute surgery and helps a lot. Just thoughts! sure you already know all this stuff!
About the other thing...good luck! Hope you figure it out soon!
