Update on the sick kids
Madison is still running a fever anywhere between 100 – 104 degrees. As soon as the Motrin Cold kicks out, her fever spikes back up. As soon as the Motrin Cold kicks in, her temperature goes back down, and she starts acting like herself. I feel bad for her. I am seriously considering keeping her home tomorrow from preschool even if her temp is down. She looks pretty pale. She’s not real big on eating either.
On the Will front, well, I had to take him to the doctor today. I was right with what I thought he had. He has impetigo. He has a sore right where the elastic of his diaper rubs. The sore is about the size of a penny (it started out the size of a pimple). I have been putting antibiotics on it for a week now. However, on Sunday, he got another sore (pimple size) on another part of his leg. At that point, I figured it was impetigo. Since that is contagious and we have the whole vacation thing going on, I figured I better take him in. They just put him on an oral antibiotic.
Keep your fingers crossed that they both are better by the end of the week.
Gloves In A Bottle
I have just started using Gloves In A Bottle to help battle the effects of a Chicago winter. Days like today (when with the wind chill it is below zero) are the very reason I need this new skincare item. The part I love about Gloves In A Bottle is that it does not wash off. With two little ones, I find myself constantly washing my hands. With other lotions, I was finding that I constantly was having to reapply for it to work. Well, I can’t spend my day applying lotion (mostly because I don’t remember). For maximum effectiveness, you just need to reapply Gloves In A Bottle every 4 hours. Well, I tend not even remember to do it that much, and I still have noticed a difference. I have also passed on a few sample packs of this to my cousin who is a nurse. She finds herself constantly washing her hands at work too. She lives over on the East Coast, so they have dry cold winters too. I also love that it isn’t greasy. I cannot stand lotion that leaves a mark on everything I touch after I apply it. It ranks up there pretty high on my list of pet peeves. Not only can you order this online, but it widely accessible in over 13,000 stores nationwide (if you hate to pay for shipping like me). You are also able to use this on other parts of your body, and it works just as good!
