it is in fact a staph infection, aparently on top of being staph it is a very resistaint strain of the infection called MRSA. chloe's pedi told me and actually showed me the paper that said all the medications that it does and doesnt respond to. The antibiotic that he prescribed is one of the very few medications that it does respond to (THANK GOD). He also told me that he was pretty sure when he saw it that it was staph but he didnt want to say anything until he knew for sure, which is why he prescribed the bactrim for it. Then he told me that had he given her anything else or had it not responded to the medication she would have got straight to the hospital today to get admitted so she could receive antibiotics through the IV. Thank god he knew what he was doing and what he was dealing with. According to the pedi this is a strain of staph that he is seeing more and more frequently recently.
oh and her diaper rash is completely gone!!
chloe goes back in 2wks for her shots that we had to put of, pending the infection being completely gone when we get there.
