Eli the Great: Topical Steroid Withdrawal  

You become a parent and from day one you protect your child at all costs. Make sure they don’t fall or choke on something, keeping a watchful eye every second of the day. And then one day something out of your control takes over, something you never saw coming something you couldn’t protect them from. In that moment everything you have been doing up to this point crumbles. My baby is uncomfortable in his own skin every single day. We have days that are better than others but these last few weeks have been torture. Eli has open sores from the scratching, his biggest targets being his back & legs. Some mornings we have to peel off his sleep suit because of the oozing that occurred through the night. Every day it tears a little piece of my heart apart. He is still smiling and for that I am grateful. My Eli is a fighter.
