Thinking positive

Looking back at photos from the beginning of the summer reminded me of an update I never mentioned. Skipper's eczema was brought almost entirely under control this summer by the judicious application of hydrocortisone (short-term) and ceramide-based lotion (ongoing). I feel stupid for not having brought out the big guns earlier, because those terrible, lingering, raw sores in the crooks of her arms healed up very quickly once we did. Periodically, she'll show me her elbow and say "Look! It's like a normal person's arm!" and I remember how grateful I am that she's not dealing with that any more.It's easy for me to concentrate on what's bad now, and forget what has improved...
