Update

I don't think Shelby had a stye; or, maybe, she did. Either way, our Ped prescribed antibiotic ointment on Saturday and we kept up with that and warm compresses every so often. It then spread down her face a bit, and looked like pimple, but was gone this morning. I took her to the dr. anyway. And, Little Miss Onry (I mean, Avery ;-) went, too, b/c she has had what has looked like little mosquito bites, but then the next day they're red and raw. They have been coming on slowly, but now that we look back a few weeks ago she had a blister-like sore on her palm and one on her finger -duh! Impetigo. So, she is on an oral and topical antibiotic. Shelby does NOT have impetigo, but what, we don't know. We are to use antibiotic ointment on her eye still, another antibiotic ointment on her pimple-like things and then a steroidal cream on her skin near her nose that is really, really dry. She also has been referred to a dermatologist. Great, another specialist to add to the list. Sorry for such a sarcastic post, but it's just been one of those days. Later.

Impetigo is so gross! Although it could be worse :)
