She is back


Well things are pretty much back to normal with Tes. Her skin is a hundred percent better. It took some tinme and a few doctors to figure it out but we finally did. The trick was getting her into a great allergist, who knew what to do for her. Tes has a rare form of Excema. Children rarely get this kind, you mostly find it in adults. The process is this.... Tes has dry skin, dry skin itches, Itching causes the Excema flare ups. So it started on her arms and just got worse and worse unti it covered her completely. The docter gave us some heavy duty lotion with no dyes, fragrences and so on. Plus a steriod cream and a allergy medication called Q-dryl. She instantly started getting better and withen a few days it was very noticlble that her skin was healing. So now she is off the medication and we just put on the "elmers glue" like lotion on everyday. Her skin is now baby soft once again! YAY!! You can still see, especially on her arms, little light colored spots where the spots and scabs were. But hopefully with time those will fade. The only thing I have to say about this process, beside being very much releived that it is over, is that there is a huge difference in quality of care between State doctors and private doctors. unreal. Well we are off to the pool!! BYE!!!
