Week 7 – Set backs   no comments

Posted at 7:49 pm in General

Eli has had a rough week. He has developed eczema patches on his face, scratching has been an issue. We cover him 6 to 7 times a day with vasoline and use a triple antibiotic when needed. We ordered a sleep suit which finally came in yesterday. Eli is such an easy kid, he put it on no problem. He was confused as to why he couldn’t get his hands out of the sleeves. We put him down to bed last night and he woke up 13 hours later! He never moved, at all. E woke up happy and refreshed, such a nice change of pace from the broken sleep pattern he had been experiencing. We also got the stool sample kit in the mail. We will collect from Eli as soon as possible and send it off to the lab to make sure his liver is functioning properly. When we get the results we can move forward with his treatment.

We have now eliminated Milk & apples from Eli and Kyle’s diet. They are 2 of the biggest triggers for eczema. Welch’s White grape 100% juice is what we are trying now, cut with water.
