Poor Lynnie

So tonight's post will be short and sweet.  I just want to tell you a little about my day and ask that you continue praying for Lynnie.

I actually had a pretty great day.  Bry was on time for school, and Lynnie had a great morning.  Her diaper rash was looking a little better, and she wasn't screaming with pain every time I changed her diaper.  My awesome sister-in-law took care of her today while I volunteered in Bryant's class.  As a side note: I appreciate Bryant's teacher so so so so much.  I don't know how she puts up with some of the kids in that class every single day and keeps going back.  I know they're just in kindergarten, but some of the blatant disrespect and attitudes I see from some of them make me cringe. That may be a tangent I continue later.  ;-)

Anyway, Lynnie was great for Laura and seemed to be feeling well, so we headed to the gym after I picked her up.  She slept on the way to the gym.  I changed her diaper right when we got there so I could put a fresh coat of cream and medicated powder on her rash.  Well, the rash was getting worse again, but she was acting ok so I went ahead to my Sh'Bam class.  SO FUN!!!!  I got out of Sh'Bam and wanted to get some weights in before my shower.  The childcare worker came to get me again and said that Lynnie had pooped and that she was screaming and shaking and looked like she was in a lot of pain.  I went back and changed her diaper, and the rash had opened and was bleeding.  One of my friends read my post yesterday and reminded me to mix Neosporin with her diaper cream for bad diaper rashes.  I had forgotten about that (so thanks, Jessica!).  I got her home and found the Neosporin and some silvadene cream, which her pediatrician gave me last time her rash got really bad, and I slathered it on her.  She actually asked (in sign language) for me to put more on her.  I think it felt good and soothing.  That's a good sign.

She went to bed with no problems, and I said a prayer that the rash would be significantly better in the morning.  Bryant has a t-ball game tomorrow, which I'll probably miss because it's supposed to be over 90 degrees here.  I don't want to risk having Nicolyn out in that heat with her rash like it is (unless it's totally better in the morning, and maybe I'll be able to go. We have a big God, and prayer works!).  Luckily Bryant's Grandma will be able to take him to the game, just in case.  Maybe a later post will be about how blessed we are to have family close by.  :-)

So thanks again for reading my rambling.  :-)  I sort of included my frustrating and awesome points within the post.  And thanks, also for your prayers for Lynnie.  I can definitely tell you've been praying about her pacifier issue because she was AMAZING with that today.  Didn't even seem to miss it.  So please say a prayer for her rash, too.  Prayer works!
