C16H18N2O5S

Penicillin

Although Anna is now close to completing a full recovery from her cold of the last ten days, it seemed yesterday that Caitlin may have caught it, as she developed quite a chesty cough. Erring on the side of caution, Anna made a visit to the local doctor who advised that she had been quite right to come in and prescribed Amoxil Paediatric, a penicillin variant.

In addition, she asked Anna to take Caitlin for an X-ray, as a precaution, to determine the extent of the infection. Although Caitlin was rather out-of-sorts overnight she seemed much better this morning, and the X-ray prognosis was minor inflammatory consolidation in the anterior basal portion of the right lower lobe. This evening Caitlin has seemed much more herself and, although we need to continue with the Amoxil, it seems that Anna caught the problem early. As I'm sure you can imagine, we've both been a little wary over the last day or so, but it appears that things are now back on track again.

Glad Caitlin is ok. Thought the pic was one of Anna's graphic design attempts until the mouse pointer lingered over it.
