So we had a nice little visit up in Indiana with Aiden’s Mimi and Grandpa over the weekend. Our plan was to go up on Saturday and return Sunday, however, with the weather we did not go until Sunday and came back Monday.
It was a really nice visit and we got to see their new house which is beautiful. Unfortunately, Aiden has broken out all over with his eczema returning with a vengeance. He is so itchy right now it bothers him most of the time, not just when he is tired. He has found that he can scratch his wrists and ankles against the carpet by making odd swimming motions with his arms and legs. I guess it is good that he is getting swimming down early, but it is painful to see your child uncomfortable.
Monday night was about as bad a night as I can recall in recent memory. Aiden just would not settle down regardless of what we tried to do. His itching is so bad his cry is a cry of pain, not just discomfort.
We are on the “priority waiting list” to go back to see the pediatric dermatologist for a follow up appointment, but their first available appointment right now is not until March 25th. So we will see when we hear from them. Until then, it is just doing our best to keep the baby comfortable. It’s all we can do for now…. Keep him moisturized and try to comfort him as best we can.
