July 30th, Monday

This past weekend we went to Legoland and the beach. At Legoland, CM played a little bit at the new Pirates water play area. At the beach, she played in the water up to waist high.

She also ate "real" pasta. She had no immediate reaction and was fine all day on Sunday.

Today, grandma gave her some leechees (imported from China).

Overall, last week her skin was dry and we started her back on L1 and L2. Her legs (shin area) was becoming scaly. After 3 days of L1 and L2, her legs are much better now.

As of today, her skin has been really clear except for a slight rash on the back of her neck area. She also took Z before bed the last couple of nights but not tonight.

Day 46, Wednesday

It's been 2 weeks since I last posted.

CM spent the last week and a half at her Grandma's house. She was there from Friday, June 30th thru Sunday, July 8th.

She did really well there. She slept through the night almost every night and her skin was good for most of the week. We gave Grandma our laundry soap, dishwash soap, and her soap to use.

Toward the end of the week, CM started to become more itchy. She has a light rash around her neck and shoulder area on Saturday July 7th. Then on July 8th, she had a rash on the back of her neck area. Also, her legs were becoming a little more rashy and she was also getting red blotches on her butt area.

We started to put L1 and L2 again whereas before we were transitioning her off of L1 and only using L2.

Theories of her breakout:
Food she ate: Leechees, watermelon, white mooer soup, bananna, her allergy free cookies
Food smells she was exposed to: Fish and eggs
Clothing: her clothes were washed in the washer and drier that came into contact with detergent


Overall, her skin is still relatively good. Last night I put on L1 and L2 and this is helping to heal her eczema.


She was itchy on her lower back and she scratched it up a bit.

She fell asleep fast last night w/o Z and no fussing... she's still sleeping now.

She is now capable of sleeping through the night.

We need to figure out her food allergies and keep her skin clear and soft.
