Time Flies

Once again I'm having trouble staying on top of my blog. Sorry. This past week at work has been somewhat eventful. I wasn't there at the time, but heard about this second hand. I guess one of the dishwashers came into work with swollen and blistered hands. He was sent home and the kitchen was quarantined. Management didn't let anyone know what was going on, just that they had to re sanitize the dishes, use antibacterial hand gel and use styrofoam dishes instead of the glass ones. The manager of the kitchen even told the workers that if she knew what was going on, she would tell us. That was a lie. One of the servers used to work at a day care where the kids broke out with these same rashes on their hands. She knew what it was and told others it was Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. It is extremely contagious. The thing with it though is that kids are more likely to get this disease and yet none of the workers were told what was going on. Many of them have kids and could have taken it home to them. That would be terrible and yet they still expected servers to be ok with it. Yeah right!! I'm glad I wasn't there. How can you run a business and not let the workers know what is going on. Don't we have the right to know? I'm seriously getting sick and tired of this place!! I continue applying to other places, but still haven't gotten any bites. Hopefully soon.

On another note, Logan has had a rash for three weeks. I thought it was a diaper rash and was using desitin like crazy. It wasn't working. I called the doctor and they prescribed me some RX cream. So we tried that and then I did a little research and discovered Logan doesn't have just a normal rash, it's a yeast infection. So I call the doctor up the next day and tell them I think it's yeast and was told the cream I was prescribed works on yeast, but I should also try mixing in some hydrocortizone. Did that and then he started getting diarreha, which is making the rash worse and won't give it time to heal. So I call the doctor up again...by this time I really just wanted to go in, but they must be swamped with flu patients because they just gave me some directions over the phone. They said the diarrhea was probably a virual infection and it would just have to work it's way through. Come on!! Isn't there anything I can do for my little guy? I call my mom and she tells me to feed him the B-R-A-T diet. Banana, Rice cereal, Apple, Tea. This will help him get those nutrients back that he is losing while having diarrhea. I hope it's helping. I ran out of the prescription cream two days ago and go to get it refilled and was told that it's too soon. "You already used it up" is what I heard from the pharm tech. Ummm, yeah my baby has had this rash for 3 weeks, so I'm lathering him up!! Well, they can't do anything until Monday when they can call the doctor and see if they can get an override to give me his next refill so soon. I wasn't planning on waiting until Monday. I bought some clotrimazole instead. Someone suggested it to me, it's an antifungal cream and the pharmacist told me if the doctor would suggest something, it would be this stuff. So here we go again. I really want my baby to feel better. I hate seeing him like this. He screams and cries everytime I change his diaper, I know it must hurt :( If the diarrhea doesn't let up, there is no way this rash is going to get better. Just keep my little guy in your prayers.
