Diaper Rash

It may not be the most interesting topic to write about, but today it is Katie's most pressing concern. The doxorubicin, which we were told may make her urine pink, has had no visible effects on the color of her urine but it sure is making its presence known. Katie woke up this morning with a very wet diaper and a very red diaper rash that looked pretty sore. We treated it with a great gob of diaper cream and fresh, dry diapers all day. It looks a little better tonight... not much, but a little. I just put her to bed with a fresh layer of cream and a dry diaper. I'll just have to wait and see how she is again in the morning. And when I go to bed, I will check her again to see if she needs to be changed.
