Lymph nodes and legions

pooklet's diaper rash has worsened, replete with that horrible-sounding word, 'legions.'
nystatin for a prescribed 10 days and desitin for months hasn't kept it from coming back, apparently. we were directed to air out the diaper area for an hour at a time, like three times a day. this i did not do. the wif has, however, and today he peed on himself. maybe that's what it will take if the rash persists. after all, what's a little pooklet pee, anyway?
meanwhile, the pooklet is ever smiley and carefree. what a trooper. he's such a good baby. he's been sleeping easier, too. in a week, he'll be 5 months old.

i especially enjoyed his good-naturedness today because i stayed home sick. for the first time, i got a virus that introduced itself with lymph node pain. i felt nauseous this morning and slept off and on until 1. i'm contagious, but the advice nurse i called reassured us that mommy's breast milk has antibodies to keep him healthy. it's amazing that his mother produces everything he needs.
