The Road to Recovery

ALF has been very sick the past few weeks. We couldn't figure out what was causing the rapid decline and expanding rash. We thought her eczema was flaring due to her allergies and a possible addiction to topical steroids, nothing was helping. After seeing a new doctor and having some testing, they determined she actually had very bad fungal infection that spread through her whole body, likely along with a staph infection. After taking some antibiotics and anti-fungal meds, she is looking the best she has in over a year. 

She is tough, strong little girl!!

Red, flaky and itchy just one week ago

Skin is clearing up great and she is feeling SO much better!!!

29 Months Old today

This kid doesn't need new toys

 She found tubes of lotion in the bathroom that became the "mommy and the baby" that went for a ride.

Only my kid...

 Hair clips and bars of soap is what she plays with... a silly child.

 Ready for dancing and party fun.

Cuddles with dada and Dante.

Snow much fun!

 Went outside for some fresh air, got all her snow clothes on, then I hear 

"Mama, I gotta go pee on the potty now" Of course you do, dear.

 Climbed to the top of the mountain (or porch)
