Jeremiah had his morning 20 minute bath. He had no meds, well, because I forgot and he ate throughout the day so I couldn't give him is Pulmicort due to that. I applied his creams and ointments after his bath. This evening, he had his 20 minute bath, applied creams/ointments, and applied wet wrap for 20 minutes. He also had all of his oral medications. After his wet wrap, I applied Aquafor from head to toe! Eating: Breakfast - 1/2 cup of Chex (he wanted cereal just like his brothers!), 6 oz of Elecare Jr. Snacks - Pretzels Lunch - corn (ate all), blueberries (threw), grapes (threw) - this kid is making eating tough! 6 oz of Elecare Jr. Snacks - continued eating pretzels 6 oz of Elecare Jr. Dinner - 1 cup of Safe noddles, spaghetti sauce - he ate it up! 6 oz of Elecare Jr.

This morning Jeremiah had a 20 minute bath. He was lathered with his triamcilone cream and cetaphil on the body and desonide on the face. He was given his Cyprohepdine, Zyrtec and Pulmicort solution. At night, he was given his 20 minute bath, and placed in his wet wrap of his footy pajamas and night gown. The creams were applied and he ran around for 20 minutes! He was also given his medications from the morning. It has been getting harder to time the Pulmicort solution because of his grazing throughout the day. If he steps out of the room, he finds something to ingest and I get concerned that we have just messed up the meds. He slept well tonight and his skin is showing improvements. Eating: Breakfast - bacon, peaches 6 oz of Elecare Jr Lunch - pineapple jello, corn, blueberries, apples 6 oz Elecare Jr Snack - craisins, 6 oz Elecare Jr. Dinner - Peaches, fruit snacks, 6oz Elecare Jr.

Jeremiah had his morning bath of 20 minutes. His creams of triamcinolone/cetaphil cream on body and desonide on face. At night he was given a 20 minutes bath, a wet wrap with the application of the above creams for 20 minutes. We are using a footy pajama to soak in water and using is bamboo buddy night gown to help cover his hands. This has been helpful and he's still just as active even though the gown is a little too big for him. =) Afterwards, he was lathered down with Aquaphor. He has been sleeping well and is skin is showing improvements. I came across this article about a boy who had eczema similar to Jeremiah's. It was interesting because I thought of how they found E coli, MRSA, and a staph infection just from his underneath his finger. I thought this could be an option to look into with him: http://blog.bamboobubby.com.au/2013/12/zebunissos-baby-eczema-story-healing.html Eating: Breakfast - 6 oz of Elecare Jr., 1/2 cup of Corn Chex - he ate about 1/2 Snack - Fruit snack Lunch - potato chips, slice of ham - he refused, peaches, 6 oz of Elecare Jr. Snack - 1/4 cup of pretzels, 6 oz of Elecare Jr. Dinner - Tilapia breaded with pretzel, paprika, parsiley, and rice Krispies - he refused!, rices (he ate a small portion), and corn (ate it all!) 60z of Elecare Jr

Skin: Jeremiah got a bath for 20 minutes this morning. He played in the bath for 20 minutes. He was able to play in the snow this afternoon. His face is not as inflamed as it has been. He has dug sores into his wrist so we have applied Mupirocin on those sores. We picked up his creams, liquids, and ointments this afternoon since we had snow on Saturday and couldn't get out to pick them up. I mixed the Cetaphil cream and Triamcinlone cream. We gave him a bath for 20 minutes and applied the creams on his body along with Desonide to his face. We then put him in a wet sleeper and covered it with his gown that has the covered sleeves. He was in this wet wrap for 20 minutes. Once we took it off, his skin appeared to be paste white, but his skin felt smooth. We applied Aquaphor all over his body and put on a dry sleeper. Eating: Breakfast - Gluten Free pretzels - refused all other foods - 6 oz of Elecare Jr. Lunch - 2 pineapple rings, a peach wedge, jello, 6 oz of Elecare Jr. Snack - 6 oz Elecare Jr Dinner - hot dog and pretzels - 6 oz Elecare Jr. Bedtime Snack - Fruit snack, 1/4 cup of Corn Chex, 6 oz Elecare Jr.
