I woke up to quite a scare the other night. Laurelin had gone to bed cranky, she seemed to be complaining about something, but noone could really tell what was wrong. We figured it must be gas. There were no signs of anything else wrong. Well at midnight she woke up screaming, and it was obvious something was wrong. I took off her diaper, but couldnt see anything wrong, and I moved her leg and caught a glimpse of something. Her inner thigh was blistering!! I was so shocked, I had no idea why this was happening, I went downstairs to call my mother-in-law (who is a RN), and while I was holding Laurelin I noticed on her hip area that she was getting small blisters there too! I was trying not to panic, but I had never seen anything like this before. After I talked to Kathy, we decided it had to be a bad reaction to the new package of diapers I bought her yesterday. Because once she started wearing the new diapers this started to happen, and it was only on the area where the diaper was at. I stripped her naked and had her lay with me on the couch on a towel. She calmed down and seemed to feel better. In the morning when she got up, the areas were all red and inflammed and looked horrible. I had to take her down to the acute care clinic, and waited a few hours to be seen, where in that time period, Laurelin peed all over me, and also all over the waiting room floor. ( She still couldnt wear diapers). So about four hours into it, the doctor prescribes her anti-fungal cream because the idiot cant tell that it is blisters and not a yeast infection. Augh I was so mad!! How could he not see that they were blisters? Thankfully I have some knowledge about things and know not to put this cream on her. And I take care of her myself. Thankfully she is doing much better, but I am still annoyed that the doctor didnt listen to me and didnt look more carefully at her, to know what was truly wrong with her. I also contacted the diaper company and let them know what happened to her. Strangely enough my son use these diapers at night and has no reaction to them at all. I dont know what could be in it to make it react like that, but I pray I never have to see that again!!
