Lena is six weeks old this week and it is amazing to think that just a month and a half ago we were at the hospital with our new born baby girl. We were actually back at the hospital yesterday, this time to check on mama's recovery and the ever persistent thrush problem. This annoying and painful pest has been around for the past month and it has been pretty difficult to beat. The regimen has been as follows:
- both mom and Lena have been applying nystatin ointment to affected areas
- both mom and Lena have been taking Probiotics
- both mom and Lena have been taking Fluconazol
- both mom and Lena have been treated with Gentian Violet
treatments so the doctor took a culture of the breast milk and on Friday we'll see if there are any more answers to our burning question (no pun intended): how do we kick this bug.
And for your viewing pleasure, here is a pretty hilarious picture of Lenabel wearing her Gentian Violet lipstain:
And some pictures we took on Monday just before mom and dad left for dinner to celebrate their anniversary. Lena was lucky to stay with her Baba who took very good care of her.
