Poor Baby

The Prater family is fallin' apart over here! I have a jenky left eye that was diagnosed with a corneal ulcer two weeks ago. Patrick has a cyst on his left knee that was previously drained but is now swollen and painful again. But worst of all is that baby Margaux was diagnosed with mastitis in her right beast today. She woke up seeming under the weather and I noticed it was swollen, red, warm and tender to the touch. She was also running a low grade temp. She is now on an oral and a cream antibiotic and not a very happy little camper! Mastitis, an infection of the breast, is typically seen in breastfeeding women when a milk duct gets clogged and then infected. It is unusual for a little gal like Margaux to get it. DrG sent a culture sample of the discharge to identify the bacteria. Here's hoping she feels better fast!

Poor Little Matgaux...hope she is better real soon. Give her a kiss from her Aunt. Hope your eye and Pat's knee is better really soon, as well.

Lots of Love
