DERMATOLOGIST

Happy baby enjoying his carrots!!!

We made it into the dermatologist this past Friday morning. Thank goodness!!! He says that the spots on Alexander's face are, in fact, eczema. He prescribed another antibiotic because the sores were infected and then he also prescribed a little bit higher % of the hydracortizone (apparently we had been using a 1% which is over the counter strength). He also switched us to Cetaphil facial wash and Cetaphil moisturizer for his face. And so far, 3 days later, his face looks much, much better. He still has some redness, but the sores and the oozing are gone!!! Which is fabulous news. This also means that he is not rubbing it nearly as much, so it must not be itching!!! He skin in those spots still look rougher than before and they probably will for a while but it looks sooo much better than before. And most important, he feels better!

We had a nice and quiet weekend. We've been watching lots of Olympic coverage. Chris has been known to catch Olympic Fever and become a bit obsessed, but he's keeping it in check so far this year. We've also starting watching The Soprano's. We're only a couple of episodes into it, but are enjoying it so far. Tonight for dinner, Chris cooked the most delicious meal! It was chicken rolled up with prosciutto, spinach, and Parmesan cheese, served with taboule and salad. It was amazing! I told him that this was my new favorite meal for him to make. I am so lucky to be married to an amazing cook!!!
