WEEK 8

I have started this blog on week 8, but let me tell You these past few weeks have not been easy at all. I am so grateful for my Mother in law who is there to help me, or else the sleepless nights and watching my child suffer day in and out would have given me a nervous break down.

The first 2 weeks were not so bad, and she looked almost like her normal eczema self, how ever that did not last long. The red, hot skin was our first indication that we were in fact dealing with red skin syndrome or TSW, We didn't know it would still get a whole lot worse!!!! we have had to deal with an extremely itchy daughter from midnight till at least 3 every night, she has scratched herself until her skin is raw and she bleeds, I also never knew that a little body like that could shed so much skin; we have to walk around after her cleaning up skin and laying towels and sheets where she sits and lies. This is not going to be a easy journey, but i have faith that it will be worth it, any Mother out there doesn't like to see their Child suffer, so knowing that YOU have made this decision and are putting them through this torment can break your heart.

We decided to try homoeopathic medicine to help relieve the inflammation and itchy skin, we saw an excellent homoeopath who FINALLY understood that what I'm doing would benefit my Child in the long run, instead of looking at me like I'm some kind of child torturer. any way he has given us stuff but also said it will take a few WEEKS to start working ....... PATIENCE is definitely something I have learnt in the last few weeks, and to trust and rely on God for healing and not on STEROIDS! lets see how this next week goes, stay strong fellow sufferers there is always a light at the end of a tunnel.
