Poor Matilda! My suggestion is eating lots of yogurt with antibiotics next time, if she will eat yogurt.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

There's yogurt with antibiotics? I've only seen yogurt with probiotics.

Yeah, yogurt helps. Also, if her doc recommends cranberry juice, put 7-up in it. But there are pills, too.

I meant, eat yogurt next time you take antibiotics. The probiotics help prevent the yeast infections that often come with taking antibiotics.

Ack, Matilda. That sounds awful.

Ericka, I was so worried when Darby had to have her teeth done that they were going to have to pull one of her front canines (though I already had a plan half made to change her name to Fang in the event.) As it turned out, they thought the fang was not too badly damaged to stay. (She was kicked, or hit by car, or some unknown "traumatic injury" before I got her that broke a few of her teeth.) Tooth~ma!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hec, a yeast infection can cause pain when peeing. Poor noodle. Was she only given a topical cream for the yeast infection (i.e., no pill)? Because there's an antifungal pill called Diflucan that is a miracle drug for yeast infections. Maybe ask her doctor about that. Possibly there's no dose for children, though. I don't know.

HELL yes. Also prevents one's gastrointestinal flora from being destroyed (which then leads to horrors in the bathroom). Probiotics are a good idea whenever someone takes antibiotics.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

We lucked out - she has an appt with her pediatrician for Monday, which is a frigging Advent Miracle.

She's just so miserable. And now she's getting stuck in a spiral of badness -- it hurts to pee, so she clenches up and fights it off until her bladder is full to bursting, which is tough on all her little systems, and when she finally does go it's dark and thick and cloudy and it hurts so much that now she wants to hold it in and delay even more. And she's got a rash, too. Poor muffin.
