Rash Decisions!

This situation began when my youngest grandchild (who happens to be a boy) got a diaper rash and nothing my daughter Nicole tried would clear it up. Because he was a first child for her (tenth grand for me) she got frantic pretty quickly and rather than make any rash decisions, took him straight to the pediatrician. He (the pediatrician that gets credit for this cure was a guy, of course) came up with a simple cure. “Do you have a blow dryer with a cool setting?” he asked? He then instructed her to use the dryer on cool to make sure the “diaper area” was completely dry before applying the ointment he prescribed. The rash was cured in record time but the blow jobs continued. The dryer even got its own place of honor near the changing table with the wipes, the wipe warmer, the lotions, diapers, the diaper pail, and hand sanitizer. Apparently, just the sound of the dryer turning on was enough to immediately silence any crying and still any squirming during diaper changes. This is a nice example, I guess, of when things rub you (or your baby’s bottom) the wrong way sometimes a simple solution is the best way to reach a happy ending!
