Oh I dislike Eczema

Let me say that I HATE ECZEMA!

Andrew has it and it is going to be the death of me. I feel so bad for him and it seems like I can't do anything to help him. He has it just about all over his little body. Dr. Theos  said it will never be cured but you can manage it. Andrew wakes up itching and just can't rest good at night some times. We do have his under control with body oil, hydrophor cream and itch medicine (Atarax).

For a couple of weeks, before we got it under control, he was so itchy. It really made things harder. So after two trips to Dr. Theos, we are doing soooooo much better! I hate that he has to take itchy medicine, but it helps him so much.

Some days are better than others. For now we think his is triggered by heat. His back will be so bad after he lays on it for a long time. Chris said when he can sit up, it will get better.

Dr. Theos did a skin biopsy and it came back with a lot of allergies. So in a few years we will be going to an allergist.

I am so thankful that we got his under control. Makes both our lives much easier.
