    Doctor decided Elijah's rosy cheek was a form of infected eczema :eek: and we went home with a 7-day antibiotic course, hydrocortisone cream and an emollient cream! Unfortunately he hates the antibiotic with a passion, and it has to be administered 4 times a day :( already proving quite a big struggle. As a bonus, it is extremely sticky, noticeably more so than Calpol, say - so every battle where drops are spilt is a huge mess!
    We had that trouble when Alice had an infected chicken pox spot. We found that it helped when we told her that we knew it was nasty but she needed it to make her better. We also told her every time we gave it to her that it was the nasty medicine (as opposed to the paracetmol and pyriton she was also having which she didn't mind the taste of) so that she knew what to expect. The acknowledgment it was nasty and the warning each time really made a difference for us.

    Bit of useless info - I was sat in the drs waiting room with Dave the Hairy biker today - he was having a retina test the same as OH:)

    Bruno LO has just been prescribed some cream for a rash on her face Dr said it was mild impetigo and mild excema. Took her mainly because one of my friends children has 'slapped cheek syndrome' so was worried it was that - Hope E is better soon

    I once sat in the waiting room for an x ray with Hugh Laurie. Sadly it was for an x ray of my bike so I was dressed in a hospital gown with my bum hanging out and looking less than alluring ;). He's very tall in the flesh.

    No he deffo doesn't need gears!! But my ex got it into his head that he needs them and that gears are so cool and grown up and that he could go faster with them.
    Tell him you know someone who rode from Yarm to Darlington and back when they were a child without any gears. (Well technically I didn't quite make it back because I had an accident and some random passer by drove me home but near enough.)

    :) He actually looked alot thinner so maybe the television does add 10lbs!

    The cleaner in the surgery asked him for his autograph - Im sure Oh would have but I thought it was bit cheeky considering he had had his drops in to blur his eyesight!!

    Katie counted to 12 all by herself tonight! She only missed the number 8.
    :T Alice does the missing things out too. She used to miss out 5. She misses out Wednesday and Thursday when she does the days of the week.

    Ooh, I love the hairy bikers!

    I have never met a famous person in a medical setting...

    Aimee used to miss out 5 on a regular basis too...

    My nephew has a rhadony carcinoma... That brings up nothing when you google it but is basically a bone cancer... Results from his chest mri tomorrow (checking if it has spread) and hickman line for chemo going in on Friday :(
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
