i have to follow that depressing post with this one. today was a pretty good day. his skin looked alot better and he wasn't NEARLY as itchy!!! bathtime was AWESOME. he didn't scratch hardly at all and actually enjoyed lotion time instead of scratching his chest until he was bleeding!!! unfortunately, i will not know which of the FOUR new things that i tried did the trick. i was talking to my friend anna and she was saying how she is too impatient to try one thing at a time, and man i am the same way. was it going back to the old detergent? did the steroid cream that has never worked before suddenly work when i tried it this week? was it that i didn't give him apples today? was it his chiro adjustment yesterday? yes, we are trying chiropractic. we really like our chiropractor and decided it was time to give it a whirl. grayson did great, it took mike all of 20 seconds to adjust him, if that. he really really thinks he can help, so we'll see. i will try anything. i have to take him every other day for the first month. so yea, i'll never know which it was unless i add each thing back in or take them away i guess. anyway, i just wanted to say that today was a good less itchy day!! and they make me so happy i could cry so of course i have to post about it.

I'm so glad he had a better day! I so look forward to posts like this. I hope you and Alyssa feel my prayers and those of all of us strangers and friends out here during Sydney's memorial service this weekend. And I'm praying for you to have many many more of these better days! God bless,

only time will tell. just enjoy the better days, write down all of the things you did and see how things pan out over time. I actually started an excel sheet when Titus was so sick with medications, food, sleep time, etc. and tracked it every day to try and find some common factors. Since the nutramigen (milk) was the common factor however, nothing else seemed to make a big difference. :) I actually think you should do that because sometimes putting things down on paper can help you see things you wouldn't have, especially over time. yeay Grayson!!! anna
hi, I just wanted to share this link with you. This is not the same situation, but it's a video of a family whose daughter has a life altering allergy/illness.. Just wanted to pass it along..
