update on the thrush

Yes, we have gotten rid of the thrush. After several applications of the purple stuff, oral diflucan for both Kira and myself, and acidophilus, too. Of course, I was (un)lucky enough to have an allergic reaction to the purple stuff. My skin blistered and peeled. Lucky for me, I had reasearched thrush and found an all purpose ointment that can be used to breastfeeding issues. I had to wait several days and visit several pharmacies before I could find someone to make it for me, but after just TWO applications my skin was totally healed. That APNO rocks! I will never be without it again. We are back to happily breastfeeding.
This did, however, steer her in the right direction to begin weaning. She is taking in very little milk from me during the day now and I can go a whole day at work without pumping! It does make me sad, since we worked so hard to make breastfeeding work, and it is such a wonderful time for us to share. But, she is growing up and I am glad to see her being so independant. We still share our close time togther in the evenings, but are moving toward other ways to be close during the day.
