Oh Symphony....
Hang in there, love. I wish I could do more. I know how you feel....things have been, well, shitty here. I have only had the kids' good health to be thankful for at times, that and the love and support of my friends and family. This makes me ever the more mindful that the kids' well being isn't an 'only', but rather, it's everything. I am humbled. I hope you have much relief soon. My kids, well, just the girls, have the eczema flaring up right now, but nothing like your little one. Just the red itchy bumpy skin that occasionally will crack open. Not nearly as severe, but it still pains me to see it. Much love to you and yours. I'm glad you're trying the cures. What do you think about the diet? Do you think it could be caused by an internal source, such as the wheat or the sugar? I think there is something to think about.

I can just imagine what you are going through. Its hard. I feel so quilty
now.. I have been feeling a bit miserable too and the kids sometimes tire me out. Thank goodness I have a nanny and a wonderful husband who can help me out when I do not feel up to it. I am so spoiled. I wish I can be there for you because I know how hard it must be and the frustrations that goes with it. You are a strong woman and I am sure you will get through it and I hope and pray that Jamie gets better soon. I hope that it doesn't last a lifetime. Good luck my friend and keep your head high. I have much respect for you!!!!

I feel for you all, poor dear.
I know I have said it in the past, but I will say it again....you are a STRONG woman! Don't feel bad for what you can't get done. I would never be able to do what you do. Or even handle what you are going through.

Can you get online grocery shopping done? Or call in a shop and pay on delivery. Keep some canned food in your pantry. Do try the aloe vera cream when you can get it. Maybe buy it online too? It works almost immediately every time for all of my family. Take care.

It must be so frustrating for all of you.
My oldest nephew had bad eczema when he was young. He did grow out of it.

When I was a kid, I had eczema. Also I just got out of the hospital with cellulitis on my leg and it's starting to itch. I am no doctor and I suppose medical science has made strides since I was small, but the only thing that ever relieved the itch was a coal tar product called tarbonis. Also, a doctor told my aunt around that time not to bathe her kids so much because it it was drying out their skin. I wonder if there is a support group for others with eczema or mothers of children with eczema. I would ask for help.

I only know how hard it is being a single Mom because I've seen other women
like my Mom and some of my friends do it. It's tough, it's very tough, that's why I decided not to do it myself. Hang in there. I hope that the cream starts to work and you get some sleep.
