Red alert

We thank God that Ashley has turned 18 weeks (4.5 months) old now and has braved cohabiting with her daddy who fell sick after his long trip and a few other "scare" moments (see below)...

Scare 1: Reflux problems
When she was 2 months old, her reflux got really bad. Almost after every feed, she would throw up. We shrugged it away till one night she threw up milk with blood streaks all over my shirt. We brought her to the pediatrician the following morning. With some medication to strengthen the esophagus, the baby caterpillar was back in action. :)

Scare 2: Red bum bum

2 weeks ago, at her 4th month mark, She started developing really red rash on her bum. It didn't get better even with the constant application of Desitin bum cream. I brought her to the pediatrician (Randy wasn't back from Paris yet) and doc said it was fungal infection. Prescribed anti-fungal cream. Now her bum is still healing but no more bright red. Thank God.

Ashley... You are a brave caterpillar. Daddy thinks you will turn out to be a strong butterfly someday.
