Attack of the rash...

The poor little man has had a long week but thankfully, his rash is almost all gone! It started to clear up on Sunday (10/21), a week after mom started her no dairy and no walnut diet. Not sure of the exact culprit between the two, mom will slowly add milk products back into her diet. So far so good on that yummy piece of cheese mom thouroughly enjoyed yesterday! Not only did Alex have a bad case of the bumps last week, but his eyes also gave him a run for his money. He was back at the doctor's office on Wednesday (10/17) for nasty gooey eyes that he could barely see through. The doctor prescribed eyedrops that immediately did the trick. As advised by the doctor, we have made some other changes that have helped Alex's symptoms: we have placed a towel under his mattress so he can sleep on an angle at night, we massage his tear ducts a few times a day, and will soon purchase a humidifier for his bedroom (to help his stuffy nose). All in all, we are delighted that Alex is back to normal...kicking those feet, punching those hands, and smiling those lips!
