16dd's breast update!

Where's the 'relief' icon? Her DR at the breast center said that dd likely has an infection in her right breast so she prescribed an antibiotic and a cortisone cream. The DR doesn't know or can't explain how dd could have gotten an infection in her breast, she ruled out dd's trying to pierce her nipple (though I still think that could have been it) because it was too long before the trouble began. If after 4 weeks taking and using the antibiotic/cream does not work, then they will consider doing an ultrasound. But right now she said dd's breast have no lumps or any suspicious anything.

So yeah! I'm so relieved. Thanks for everyone's thoughts/prayers for dd.

Yeah, I know. Not only Eeewwww, but OUCH! I couldn't believe my ears when she finally fessed up. But with this particular dd, nothing surprises me anymore. She likes to live on the edge....and it drives me crazy but the law says I can't keep her locked in her room until she's 21, so I live each day as it comes. What else can we do?

I don't think I ever challenged my mother this much. I was definitely a pain in the a$$. I too sound like my parents more and more each day. Scary, isn't it?
