My little man and more.

Well, his rash is almost completely gone. There are still slight traces of it on his bottom where it was the worst, but I'm sure that will be cleared up within the next few days.  Meanwhile, my daughter suddenly broke out in a rash from head to toe Friday afternoon for no apparent reason. We already knew she had Eczema though, so we're treating her for that now. Also going on in my life, I started going to college (something that was long overdue) on May 18th. I'm surprised at how well I'm doing in both of my classes. I'm only going part time though. Anyways, just keeping everyone updated.

Poor baby update

We'll the treatment that the dermatologist gave us seems to be working his rash has completely cleared everywhere but his bottom and even that is almost gone. Hope that it doesn't come back after the treatment is finished, but I'm glad it's mostly gone. Yay!

Finally, an answer

Well we went to the Dermatologist yesterday and she said that it's just a severe case of Eczema. She wrote him a couple of prescriptions and wants to see him back in six weeks to see how well or not so well it's going. I'm glad it wasn't anything more severe or life threatening. She also bumped up the amount of the anti-itch medicine he's getting and he can get it more often. Which will help loads. Unfortunately, she has said that he needs to stay inside as much as possible until it clears up. We were planning on going swimming next week, but that's out of the question now until it clears up. That's okay though, at least he's okay and I know what's going on. I just hope the treatment works.

Wish us luck

Well, my little man has his dermatologist appointment tomorrow afternoon. Wish us luck, we're hoping it is nothing serious and that it's something that can be treated and will go away. Here's to hoping. I'll let you know how things turn out.

Ok, so we're still waiting to see the dermatologist. He's still itching like crazy, and nothing seems to be helping. On the bright side though we did get the appointment moved to the 19th, but only because we call his pediatrician and ask for the dermatologist number that he originally wanted us to see (the one that doesn't take our insurance) We've decided that if we can get him in sooner there then we'll just have to pay out of pocket because we just can't watch him suffer like that. At least he's in better spirits now though. Here's hoping they can figure things out then. I'll let ya know what the dermatologist says.

Okay, so we had to go back to the pediatrician today about his rash. The doctor thinks that the rash is being caused by his diaper and has written a prescription for another type of ointment. Oh, I forgot to mention I had to call the doctor last week because he was scratching until he was bleeding. The doctor called in a prescription for Atarax which he's only allowed to take up to 3 times a day. Well, that wasn't enough even taking the meds he was scratching until bleeding. So now he's on another ointment and Atarx and still won't be able to get in to see the dermatologist until May 31st. Grr, I hate seeing him in such discomfort. He comes up to me and says "Mommy, please help itches." What am I supposed to do to that. Esp. when he's already had all the meds he can take for the day. I can't wait until this gets better. Anyways, I'll keep ya posted and hope for the best.
